Attached is an email I received from O'Reilly seeking proposals for
presentations at their next Open Source Conference.  I don't know much
more than that. They are only giving 2-3 weeks for people to submit.
The conferences is in July in Portland, Oregon.

2003 O'Reilly Open Source Convention Call For Participation
Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software
http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/


O'Reilly & Associates invites programmers, developers, strategists,
and technical staff to submit proposals to lead tutorial and conference
sessions at the 2003 Open Source Software Convention, slated for
July 7-11 in Portland, OR.

Proposals are due February 15, 2003. For more information please
visit our OSCON website http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/

The theme this year is "Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software."
Few companies use only one vendor's software on desktops, back office,
and servers. Variety in operating systems and applications is becoming
the norm, for sound financial and technical reasons. With variety comes
the need for open unencumbered standards for data exchange and service
interoperability. You can address the theme from any angle you like--for
example, you might talk about migrating away from commercial software
such as Microsoft Windows, or instead place your emphasis on coexistence.
