Here's a message from O'Relly about OSCON 2015:

We're deep into planning OSCON 2015 and we've got some exciting news: OSCON is changing. We're no longer beating the drum and leading the charge for mainstream acceptance of open source. No need. Everyone's using it already.

In the past, we've grouped OSCON sessions by programming verticals. This year, we're adopting a more holistic approach, focusing on using open source tools, technologies, and languagesto solve critical, real-world problems. Take a look at the topics that interest us here.

If you are passionate and knowledgeable about open source software, hardware, culture, community, or best practices, we invite you to submit a proposal to lead conference sessions and/or tutorials. We're looking for interesting stories told in captivating ways, fascinating demos, and provocative ideas.

Submit us your ideas by February 2, 2015, and make your mark at OSCON.

Here's to seeing you on stage,

Rachel Roumeliotis, Matthew McCullough, and Sarah Novotny
OSCON Program Chairs

P.S. Speaking or not, save the date: OSCON is coming to Portland, OR, July 20-24, 2015.
