OSDC (Open Source Developers' Conference) is a grass-roots/low cost conference in the style of a YAPC or PyCon. It's organised for developers, by developers, and we're looking for papers on open source languages, technologies and tools.

The conference will be held in Melbourne (Monash University's Caulfield Campus) from the 5th til the 7th of December, 2005.

Last years conference had about 160 people and around 60 papers on a range of topics - see www.osdc.com.au/papers/2004.html for a list. This list might also be useful if you're looking for ideas on what sort of thing would be appropriate.

To submit a proposal, get yourself to the www.osdc.com.au website, and hit the 'Call for papers' link, or go directly to the paper submission website at osdc2005.cgpublisher.com/cfp.html

Key Dates:

Please feel free to pass this on to any other people or groups you think might be interested in submitting a paper! thanks

Hope to see you there!
