Submitted three OSCON papers
February 3, 2008
I got a taste for speaking last year, and submitted three more proposals this year for OSCON. I submitted:
- Groovy/Grails for PHP developers
- Open Source Search overview
- Open Source Risks
We’ll see how these are received. I hear of people submitting 5-10 proposals and not getting any accepted, yet I submitted only one last year and was accepted. I guess it has something to do with niche coverage and potential appeal as well as popularity of the topic. These three above are, hopefully, appealing enough to a variety of people that at least one of them will get accepted. The “open source risks” one might get turned down just because it sounds like it paints Open Source in a bad light, but perhaps not.
I didn’t get too much feedback one way or another on my presentation last year, so I don’t know if it went down good or not. I assume that feedback to the organizers will have a bearing on whether or not I’m permitted back (did I put people to sleep? did I offend people? etc).
Either way, it’s done now and off my to do list, and it’s not even 9 am yet!
