Practical Information

Speakers attend the conference for free and we will reimburse speakers

finalize the program and notify the selected speakers by July 1st 2008.
All speakers will be expected to produce a final paper and electronic
files for the conference web site by September 15th, 2008.

distribute the conference material electronically and expect to receive
your final slides no later than 4 weeks before the conference. Please let
us know if you want to include other materials (articles, HOWTO etc).
All papers should be considered 'open source', and as such, non-disclosure
