_____________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers Open Source Developer Conference in France (OSDC.fr) Open World Forum, Paris, October 12th & 13th, 2012 http://osdc.fr/ _____________________________________________________________________________ The goal of OSDC.fr is to gather developers from various communities around groundbreaking technologies in the world of computer programming. After two editions on our own, we are now working together with the Open World Forum since 2011 to bring you an improved experience. For the 4th edition of this conference in France, we want to unite the communities around open source development in all the free and open source languages, like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Smalltalk and many more. The main goal is to learn by discovering new tricks in new languages: there is often a lot to learn by tackling concepts and techniques not linked to a particular programming language. To this end, we invite you to join us at OSDC.fr, either by submitting a talk, or simply by attending the conference, which will take place on the 12th and 13th October 2012, during the Open World Forum, at Eurosites George V, Paris. Entrance is free of charge. Talks can last 25 or 45 minutes. There will also be a lightning talks session, with a 5-minute limit on each talk. Here is a non-exhaustive list of possible subjects: - themes related to programming languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Erlang, JavaScript, node.js, Lua, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Haskell, C, C++, Smalltalk, Java, etc. - dynamic compilation - interpreters and virtual machines (Parrot, JVM, CLR, etc) - development tools - development best practices - programming experience feedback - code frameworks and libraries - innovative languages and their implementation - software maintenance - integrating different languages in the same project - educational methods Conference site: » http://osdc.fr/2012/ Submit a talk proposal: » http://osdc.fr/2012/newtalk Important dates: * Deadline for submitting a talk September 25th, 2012 * Final schedule October 1st, 2012 * OSDC.fr conference October 12th & 13th, 2012 -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them."
