    Hi All,<br>
    <br>
    if any of you are thinking of presenting at a non Erlang conference
    this year, I would warmly suggest OSCON, in Portland this July.
    Thousands of delegates from all over the world,  over a dozen
    parallel tracks, lots of talk about open source, but not enough on
    functional programming. This will hopefully change. News for this
    year is that one of the co-chairs is Simon St. Laurent, senior
    editor at O'Reilly and author of Introducing Erlang. I'm on the
    program committee as well. Needless to say that we want to see
    Erlang and Elixir represented in force, with case studies, intros,
    tutorials and open source libraries.  <br>
    <br>
    If we get a strong Erlang program, we will schedule an Erlang
    Factory Lite in conjunction with OSCON. But most important right now
    is to get the proposals in by January 30th. If you have any
    questions, ask me or email the list. <br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
    Francesco<br>
