Submissions for the OFBiz Symposium @ ApacheCon US 2008

[David E Jones <jo...@hotwaxmedia.com>]

Hello all. Tomorrow is Wednesday the 25th of June (yeah, I know that's  
not really news)... which is the deadline I mentioned a couple of  
weeks ago for proposals for conference presentations and BOF sessions.

There are still a number of slots open, and in fact a few people  
(about 6 if I remember right) sent me messages saying they would  
submit an abstract but haven't yet.

Please send this in right away! They don't have to be perfect... so  
just spend 20 minutes writing out a couple of paragraphs and send it  
over by tomorrow, or tonight is even better!

I guess if I haven't made it clear yet... I'm kind of left out to dry  
here! I was pretty sure we could fill 2 days of presentations (6 each  
day) as we've done so a few times in the past for OFBiz-only User  
Conferences. I know this conference is still a bit distant in the  
future, but we really need to get this organized a bit in advance. So,  
yeah, it's more formal than stuff we've done in the past but I hope  
that won't push it out our reach as a community.

I've had a number of volunteers that I can recruit, but I REALLY don't  
want this event to be dominated by Hotwax people, especially since  
Hotwax represents such a small part of the OFBiz community and there  
are dozens of service provider companies that I'm guessing could  
benefit from participation in this sort of event.

Thanks,
-David
