Call for Speakers
=================

Open Source Days 2011 - The Community Edition - will be held on Saturday March
5th 2011, at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Frederiksberg and we are looking
for gifted, entertaining and technically enlightened speakers for the conference.

Normal Talks - 45 minutes
-------------------------

Open Source Software has been around the block for quite a while. Every day we
all work with rock-solid software that just works. This year we are interested in
the status of those "goldies" we all take for granted - as well as the new
upcoming savvy projects.

You might be a developer, a community leader, a businessman or a user group
participant seeing the bigger picture or just know your software inside-out -
share your knowledge with us, by giving a talk. Speakers can attend the
conference for free and to some extent we might be able to reimburse your travel
and hotel.

Lightning Talks - 15 minutes
----------------------------

Speak your mind - tell us about your idea for a new open source project, how you
made your first android app or something completely different - the only limit
is the time frame - 15 minutes!

If you haven't tried giving a talk before - this is a good place to start.
Lightning speakers attend the conference for free, but we do not reimburse your
travel expenses.

Tutorials, Workshops and Demos
------------------------------

If you are just dying to give us a demo of how you hacked your newest gadget,
you want to host an Arduino workshop or you know postfix forwards and backwards
and want to give a tutorial - let us know. Workshops, demos and tutorials have a
time frame set in accordance with the speaker.

Tutorial and workshop speakers will be reimbursed as normal speakers.

Community Booths - Join the Fun
-------------------------------

Our wish is that the community groups will start planning for their activities
and events for their booths immediately. Open Source Days 2011 - The Community
Edition will deliver the infrastructure and by doing so give the user groups the
best possibly platform for strong community content at the conference.

This year we would like the user groups to submit a description of their planned
activities at their booth as well as a short description on themselves. Having a
descriptive program for activities will greatly help us pick the most
interesting user groups for the conference audience.

Please send your request for a community booth to <ug2011 at opensourcedays.org>
together with a description of your planned events no later than February 1st
2011.
