[openbeos] Re: Calling all Australian Haiku Users/Developers

Hi Phil.

I may be interested in coming to Sydney, but I need to discuss this with
my partner first.  From their website, I cannot see any facilities for
exhibitors (with a booth).  The only option I can see is to actually
host a presentation (in which case, the conference fee is waived).

I can only think of a number of talks which would interest the target
audience:
- introduction to Haiku
- running an embedded device with Haiku
- Haiku application programming - advanced concepts

I might be able to talk about embedded devices (considering my
professional experience, but this has nothing to do with my employer)
but that would mean that I'd have to prepare a preliminary talk and send
it to them by 30 June.  But I have ZERO experience actually embedding
Haiku, but it cannot be *that* difficult (famous last words).

I've also got an overseas holiday scheduled for the first 2 weeks in
June, so that means that I'd have less than 3 weeks to prepare and
submit a 'preliminary' talk to be considered for a presentation slot.
I'm not sure that I'll be able to make the time.

Anyhow, put me down as 'tentative'.

Subject: [openbeos] Calling all Australian Haiku Users/Developers

Hi,

I recently became aware of a conference held in Australia called the
Open Source Developers' Conference (OSDC).

http://www.osdc.com.au/

This event would seem to be well suited for Haiku. So, the reason for
my email is to generate some interest and see if any Aussie Haiku
Users and Developers would be interested in attending this event to
either:-

+ Show off Haiku OR
+ Meet and Greet other Haiku users/devs OR
+ Both

Currently, the venue has not been announced, other than it will be in
Sydney during the first week of December (1st - 5th). I wrote to the
organizers and got the following price list:-

Costs are not expected to differ greatly from last year. Last years
prices were.

$295    Earlybird Conference Ticket (includes Wednesday Conference
Dinner + conference shirt)
$325    (Full price) Conference Ticket (for registrations after October
31st - no shirt)
$600    Enterprise Conference Ticket
$175    Student price Conference Ticket (does not include Conference
Dinner)
$0              Presenter Conference Ticket (includes Conference Dinner)

So, if anyone is interested, please respond to this email or contact
me off list - sikosis@xxxxxxxxxxxx or join me in the #haiku-australia
IRC channel on freenode.

Cheers

Phil Greenway (Sikosis)
