[advocacy-discuss] Planned OpenSolaris conference in Poland

[Martin Man]

Hi Damian,

I'm not sure if you've got the news from opensolaris-announce[1], but 
there will be the Opensolaris Developer Conference (OSDevCon) 2008 in 
Prague organized by CZOSUG and GUUG. We are going live with the 
conference website and call for papers during the beginning of October. 
Announce of a conference just two months before the date is a bit too 
fast IMHO, but that just IMHO. However I'm taking your offer seriously 
and it would be great to meet with other OpenSolaris people in Poland.

What exactly are your next steps?

thanx,
Martin (from the OSDevCon 2008 organization team)
