CommunityOne 2008 Call For Participation is closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted a talk for consideration for CommunityOne. You'll hear from us by the end of February.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

Once again, Sun Microsystems will be opening our tent flap to the free and open source community for CommunityOne. Please join us as a speaker; CommunityOne is a unique opportunity to bring together your community and engage with others.

We're looking to you to define what the conference program should cover. We’ll provide the basics: space, sustenance, and invites (we’ll make room for more than 2,500 innovative developers); you bring your projects, your expertise, and your colleagues. No sleeping bags needed.

Topics:

1. Free and Open (Any and all topics encouraged. It's your conference, help create it.)
2. Projects and Strategy
3. Operating Systems
4. Web Servers and Databases
5. Scripting Languages: Content Authoring and RIAs
6. Tools and Integrated Development Environments
7. Next Generation Web Applications
8. Web Scale Computing
9. Chip Multithreading (CMT)

From your submissions, an experienced team of reviewers from the developer community will select content that offers Conference attendees an extensive and original educational program with practical training and interactive sessions led by experts. Our attendee surveys have indicated most of them want talks that deepen their practical knowledge, including best practices and solutions. This year we are particularly interested in talks that are rich in technical detail and will enhance attendees' knowledge.

SPEAKER SELECTION

Speakers make the difference in the quality of the attendee's experience. Conference feedback from attendees indicates that we should take extra steps to ensure that Conference speakers are experienced and good at presenting talks.

Our priorities in selecting speakers are:
- Subject matter expertise
- Solid speaking ability and experience

During the selection process the CommunityOne conference content review team may contact you by telephone or email to ask you for more information about your submitted abstract and your previous speaking experience.

We welcome submissions from international developers. The official language of the Conference is English, and we expect speakers to be fluent and easily understood when presenting in English. For those speakers who may have doubts about their fluency or pronunciation, or for anyone who is not comfortable presenting to a live audience for any reason, consider teaming up with a colleague who can confidently present the talk for/with you.
