[Viscom-dev] FW: Conference Proposal Notification

Hmmmm… looks like my proposal for an OSGeo session at OSCON did not go over well. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to re-approach them to try and convince the powers that be that we should be there. Last year was a great success… maybe it was my proposal they did not like ;-(

Any thoughts are welcome…

Dear Aaron,

On behalf of the O’Reilly Open Source Convention 2007
program committee, I want to thank you for your recent proposal:

“OSGeo: Practical Maps, Practical Apps”

Thank you for your interest in sharing your work with the open source
community. While your proposal was considered closely, we are not able
to include it in the program this year.

In most cases proposals are declined because the topic of the talk or
tutorial was already covered in another presentation, or the subject matter
was too narrow or vendor specific. This year we again had far too many
great talks to fit into the number of slots available.

We encourage you to submit a proposal for next year’s conference,
and we thank you again for taking the time to submit your proposal.

We would like to offer you a 25% discount off the registration
fee if you simply want to attend. Just register as an Attendee
and use this code in the discount code field:
os07dsd

There are still opportunities to sponsor or exhibit at the event.
For sponsor/exhibitor possibilities, please contact Yvonne Romaine,
Sales and Exhibits Manager, sponsorships@oreilly.com.

We hope to see you there!

Regards,

Vee McMillen
Speaker/Operations Manager
O’Reilly Media, Inc.

Well, as part of the sponsorship I got for Autodesk, we get a 45 minute
speaking opportunity in the Products and Services Track. I could donate
this time to OSGeo and you could present the topic below or refine
further. Would this be of interest?

Nathalie,

Sorry to never have followed up with you before, but things have been way busy. I would love to talk with you more about what your (Autodesk) intentions are for OSCON and how we can work together to get some speakers and viability out there for OSGeo. I am local and will be available that week and am more than happy to rally some troops for the effort, but I wanted to touch base with you first to see if we can pound out what the plan should look like. Let me know what you have in mind or we can talk via email or phone to see what we can work out.

Thanks again….

Aaron,
I'm keen to be kept in the loop with whatever you produce.
I've used a number of your slides from past presentations myself, and am looking for content for a couple of Australian conferences.

At Hobart, May 14-18 we have a stand.
In Brisbane in August I'm talking about Open Standards, Open Source and Open Data.

In particular, how to do we answer:
"How do you integrate Open Source with legacy applications - (Usually ESRI and Oracle)"
