Open Publish 2006,
a new conference designed to focus on the management and implementation
issues relating to publishing technology is now seeking speaking
proposals for this event.
While covering key
ideas such as standards initiatives, single-sourcing data and content
management, Open Publish will discuss these from the perspective of best
practices, project methodologies and human/usability factors rather than
simply technology.
With the objective
of fostering a greater sense of community for managers, developers and
production staff, Open Publish promises to offer the informal
collaboration of a user group combined with presentations from the
leading thinkers and practitioners in publishing. Therefore, we have
specific interest in hearing from speakers with expertise in the
following areas:
- methodologies for
evaluating and implementing content management
solutions
- project and risk
management for content-related projects
- cost estimation,
return on investment and quality management
- using existing
web infrastructure (mash-ups)
- documenting and
managing publishing requirements
- business
perspectives on open content such as Wikipedia
- best practice for
content creation and conversion
- frameworks for
quality in system development and
implementation.
Got other ideas
or suggestions?
If you or anyone you know has an interest in
participating as a speaker, please send a brief overview of your topic
to the conference convenor Nga Cao to discuss.
