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>
