[ubuntu-dk] [Fwd: [opensource] Open Source Days 2008 - Call for speakers]

[Mads Chr. Olesen]

Resume: Open Source Days (det tidligere LinuxForum) har netop sendt
denne mail ud. Vi havde en stand på LinuxForum sidste år, og det var en
ret stor success ( http://www.kjoller.eu/?p=10 ). Derfor skal vi da også
have en stand i år.

Hvis ingen protesterer inden for 5 min. så tilmelder jeg os som
brugergruppe :-)

Open Source Days 2008 is a community driven conference. Its a collaboration 
between the Danish UNIX User Group (DKUUG), Skåne and Sjælland Linux User Group 
(SSLUG) and the Danish *BSD User Group (BSD-DK).

Open Source Days is organized by the coordination team from the annual 
LinuxForum conference (www.linuxforum.dk) and our aim is to make an 
international conference, which is both affordable and high quality.

Our former conference LinuxForum had the average of 2000+ participants, and was 
the biggest open source related conference in the Scandinavian area.

Speakers attend the conference for free and we will reimburse speakers travel 
and lodging if nobody else will pay for it.

We will aim to finalize the programme and notify the selected speakers by no 
later than August 1st 2008.

All talks will be videotaped (unless the speaker objects). There will be no 
proceedings, but slides will be publicly available through our website.
