As always, it would be great to have a strong Erlang presence at
OSCON this year. It is a huge conference (In excess of ten parallel
tracks) with thousands of delegates from different programming
communities and corners of the world. Last year, Loic spoke about
Cowboy and Garrett gave a tutorial on Erlang, both to large, crowded
rooms. In the halls, I kept on running into Erlang programmers. I
warmly recommend you to submit a talk, as Erlang needs more exposure
there relative to other non main stream technologies. <br>

make the case for free and open software
(imagine wanting access to your source code!) to
today, when open source is the standard for
everyday programming languages, databases,
utilities, and operating systems. These days, <strong>who

you not only share your knowledge with your

your company in front of a savvy and connected
audience. You don’t need to be a guru or
experienced speaker; it’s enough to have
something worthwhile to share and the desire to
communicate it to others.</p>
