Welcome to the Open Source Developers' Conference
OSDC 2008 Sydney
The Open Source Developers' Conference 2008 is a conference run by open source developers, for developers and business people. It covers numerous programming languages across a range of operating systems, and related topics such as business processes, licensing, and strategy. Talks vary from introductory pieces through to the deeply technical.
This year, the fifth annual conference will be in Sydney during the first week of December (2nd - 5th), and will be held at the SMC conference venue located in the Sydney CBD.
With three developer talks on at any time, spanning over the three days of the main conference, and the tutorials on the Tuesday before the main conference, there is bound to be something of interest to any developer. Check out what previous attendees have to say about previous OSDC conferences.
Call for Papers closes on Monday, 30 June 2008
Papers on Open Source languages, technologies, projects, tools and well as topics of interest to Open Source developers are being solicited for submission to OSDC 2008. So if you are an Open Source maintainer, developer or user, the organising committee would encourage you to submit a talk proposal on the open source tools, solutions, languages or technologies you are working with.
We have had some great proposals submitted already, including keynotes from Chris DiBona, Anthony Baxter, Andrew Tridgell and Pia Waugh. This is your chance to give the open source project you are passionate about more exposure.
