Submit Your Proposal to Speak by Monday, February 7

For thirteen years the O'Reilly Open Source Convention has been bringing together people from across the open source universe to learn, collaborate, and inspire each other. OSCON provides a central place to gain exposure to and evaluate the new projects, tools, services, platforms, languages, software, and standards sweeping through the open source community and the broader technology industry.

Now is your chance to be part of the program. We're looking for speakers to lead sessions and tutorials at OSCON 2011. The Call for Participation is open now through February 7.

Topics We're Looking For

Some of the topics we plan to include in the 2011 program include:
