Subject: [Central-coast-pm] OSDC 2005 open for registrations
Message-ID: <435D8F8D.5010004@perltraining.com.au>
G'day everyone,
This is a quick note to let you know that registrations for Australia?s
second Open Source Developers?  Conference are now open.  Last year?s
conference was a huge hit with 60 high quality talks running in three
streams over three days.  If you were not able to join us last year
make sure you don?t miss out this year! 
The conference is running from Monday 5th ?  Wednesday 7th December 2005. 
If you register before Sunday 30th October you will receive a conference
t-shirt and a $50 discount. 
You can register at http://www.osdc.com.au/registration/index.html
OSDC is a grass roots-style conference designed by developers for
developers, covering open source languages, tools, libraries, operating
systems, licences and business models.  We?re booking 3 lecture rooms
each day for the 3 days to hold a new set 60 different talks. 
Talks topics range from the safety of Perl?s Safe.pm, to rapid game
development in Python, to using PHP for unorthodox applications, to
utilizing Java?s Groovy in your next application.  We also have talks on
conference skills, database integration, digital forensics, Gumstix and
Nagios.  You can find the full list of speakers and talk titles at
http://osdc2005.cgpublisher.com/session_descriptions.html
Because there are so many good talks, you can be certain that there
will be something that interests you in every talk session. 
Each day will start with a keynote by our excellent keynote speakers. 
These include Damian Conway, Jonathan Oxer, Richard Farnsworth (from the
Australian Synchrotron) and Anthony Baxter.  The rest of the day will be
filled with up to 5 hours of talks and plentiful food breaks.  Our
catering choices should result in you being extraordinarily well fed
throughout the days of the conference. 
There will also be several BOFs (yet to be organised), lots of
opportunities to socialise, a semi-formal dinner, a partners? 
programme and other usual conference stuff. 
If you have any other questions about what is happening, please don?t
hesitate to ask: osdc-help at osdc.com.au
All the very best,
Jacinta
