Hmmmm. looks like my proposal for an OSGeo session at OSCON did not go over
well.  Anyone have a suggestion as to how to re-approach them to try and
convince the powers that be that we should be there.  Last year was a great
success. maybe it was my proposal they did not like ;-(

 

Any thoughts are welcome.

Subject: Conference Proposal Notification

 

Dear Aaron, 
  
On behalf of the O'Reilly Open Source Convention 2007 
program committee, I want to thank you for your recent proposal: 

"OSGeo: Practical Maps, Practical Apps" 
  
Thank you for your interest in sharing your work with the open source 
community.  While your proposal was considered closely, we are not able 
to include it in the program this year. 

In most cases proposals are declined because the topic of the talk or 
tutorial was already covered in another presentation, or the subject matter 
was too narrow or vendor specific.  This year we again had far too many 
great talks to fit into the number of slots available.   

We encourage you to submit a proposal for next year's conference, 
and we thank you again for taking the time to submit your proposal. 

We would like to offer you a 25% discount off the registration 
fee if you simply want to attend.  Just register as an Attendee 
and use this code in the discount code field:  
    os07dsd 

There are still opportunities to sponsor or exhibit at the event. 
For sponsor/exhibitor possibilities, please contact Yvonne Romaine, 
Sales and Exhibits Manager, sponsorships at oreilly.com. 

We hope to see you there! 
  
Regards, 

Vee McMillen 
Speaker/Operations Manager 
O'Reilly Media, Inc.
