AOSS 4

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The fourth Australian Open Source Symposium (AOSS 4) will be held in
Sydney on Saturday July 20, 2002.
 
Previous AOSS events were held in Melbourne (1999), Adelaide (2000) and
Canberra (2001).

AOSS is run by developers, for developers. Our goals are to promote the
sharing of information and experience, give the community a place to
interact, and nurture and harness synergies between Open Source
projects.

Just as Open Source is a little different, so is AOSS. While we welcome
formal papers, we are actively encouraging informal (but well prepared)
presentations that are both timely and interesting. We know that Open
Source
changes fast, and that developers would rather write code than papers.

AOSS generally involves short presentations, by developers, of:

	* existing open source projects
	* works in progress
	* cool and bizarre feats of coding

In addition to these technical presentations, for AOSS4 we are seeking 
presentations related to the management of open source projects, such
as:

        * designing for portability
        * testing and verification methods
	* caring about application usability
        * methods for handling users, flamers and groupies

Typical AOSS presentations are 30 minutes in duration; please indicate
if you require a longer session.


TIMETABLE:

Abstracts (around 100 words) are due Monday May 20, 2002.

PRESENTERS WILL RECEIVE FREE REGISTRATION


Please email submissions to aoss at auug.org.au.


AOSS 4 is proudly supported by AUUG Inc, UNSW, the UNSW Gelato project,
