Open Source Developers’ Conference: Last day week (or so) to submit papers!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I just submitted my paper proposals for the Open Source Developers’ Conference, an annual event held here in Australia which brings together developers from a range of different open source communities and languages, including PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, Javascript, Mono, and I don’t even know what else. Even though I usually spend most time in the Perl track, it’s good to have options.

Here are the titles of papers I submitted:

• CPAN meets Web2.0: 20 modules in 20 minutes
• Packaging Perl Applications: From CPAN To Your Project
• Better Than DBI: Why writing SQL sucks and how CPAN can help
• Test Driven Development (tutorial)

(The TDD one is the only one that’s not Perl-specific.)

If you have the urge to speak at OSDC, today’s the last day we’re approaching the last days of the Call For Papers, so hurry up and get your proposals in!

Actually I believe the final day for papers 30/June, not the 20/June

Huh, so it is! Did they change that at some point, or did I put it in my calendar wrong?

AFAIK it was always the end of the month

Huh. Then I guess I was hallucinating all along. At least I hallucinated a too-early date rather than a too-late one!

In that case all I ask is that you just share the hallucinogenic drugs around please
