[Ryan Rix]

Hello,

In regards to my message earlier this month, here is the official call for
papers for the Arizona Business and Liberty Experience being held on October
2004, in Phoenix, Arizona.

===
The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience Conference (ABLEconf) is
soliciting presentations for its second annual conference. ABLEconf will
take place on Saturday, October 24th, 2009 at the University of Advancing
Technology in Tempe, Arizona.
Continuing ABLEconf's drive to showcase free and open source software for
business, we are seeking presentations in either 20 or 50 minute formats.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
SMB/SME
Health/Medical Software and Systems
Local Business Use of Free and Open Source Software
Women in Technology and Business
Education
Multimedia
Gadgetry and Fun Devices
Green Computing
Multi-Platform Applications and Free Software for proprietary systems
Virtualization, Grid and Cloud Computing
Network Setup, Management and Security
Proposals submitted by September 7th will qualify for an early bird prize
drawing.
Proposals should include the following:
title for the talk
name, affiliation, bio and contact email address of the presenter (needed
for publishing on the website and final program schedule)
Is a 20 minute or 50 minute presentation is preferred?
What will be covered? A list or a brief description of the main points to
be presented should be submitted. Please include enough detail to enable the
committee to evaluate the proposal.
Please notify us if the presentation will require a special technical set
up.
Submission formats in plain text, PDF and Open Document Format (ODF) will be
accepted. As we are attempting to increase awareness of free and open
technologies, it is highly desirable that presentations be done in open,
non-proprietary formats.
Email proposals to ***@ABLEconf.com.
To see an updated full listing of the desired tracks and requirements please
visit the presentations page.
