Call for Speakers
=================
Open Source Days 2011 - Community Edition - will be held on Saturday March
5th 2011, at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Frederiksberg and we are
looking for gifted, entertaining and technically enlightened speakers for
the conference.
Normal Talks - 45 minutes
-------------------------
Open Source Software has been around the block for quite a while. Every
day we all work with rock-solid software that just works. This year we are
interested in the status of those "goldies" we all take for granted - as
well as the new upcoming savvy projects.
You might be a developer, a community leader, a businessman or a user
group participant seeing the bigger picture or just know your software
inside-out - share your knowledge with us, by giving a talk. Speakers can
attend the conference for free and to some extent we might be able to
reimburse your travel and hotel.
Lightning Talks - 15 minutes
----------------------------
Speak your mind - tell us about your idea for a new open source project,
how you made your first android app or something completely different -
the only limit is the time frame - 15 minutes!
If you haven't tried giving a talk before - this is a good place to start.
Lightning speakers attend the conference for free, but we do not reimburse
your travel expenses.
Tutorials, Workshops and Demos
------------------------------
If you are just dying to give us a demo of how you hacked your newest
gadget, you want to host an Arduino workshop or you know postfix forwards
and backwards and want to give a tutorial - let us know. Workshops, demos
and tutorials have a time frame set in accordance with the speaker.
Tutorial and workshop speakers will be reimbursed as normal speakers.
Community Booths - Join the Fun
-------------------------------
Our wish is that the community groups will start planning for their
activities and events for their booths immediately. Open Source Days 2011
- The Community Edition will deliver the infrastructure and by doing so
give the user groups the best possibly platform for strong community
content at the conference.
This year we would like the user groups to submit a description of their
planned activities at their booth as well as a short description on
themselves. Having a descriptive program for activities will greatly help
us pick the most interesting user groups for the conference audience.
Please send your request for a community booth to
ug2011@opensourcedays.org together with a description of your planned
events no later than February 1st 2011.

purpose like:
