Hi,
I'm working to organize Open Source Bridge, the third annual conference for
open source citizens. It's happening June 21–24, 2011 in downtown Portland,
Oregon.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Open Source Bridge is a volunteer-run conference that connects people across
technologies, projects and interests. We would love to have members of the
Phoenix Linux community involved as speakers and participants.
The conference features presentations on a wide range of topics, from specific
open source technologies to common experiences and shared concerns. There's
also a full day of unconference sessions and a 24-hour hacker lounge for all of
your collaboration needs.
We’d be delighted if you would mention Open Source Bridge at your user group
meetings and get us in touch with other groups in your community who might be
interested in participating. We've provided a sample email below that you can
customize and send to mailing lists.
Our call for proposals is open through March 31st. This date is approaching
quickly, so please pass this information on as soon as possible.
USER GROUP DISCOUNT
We'd like to offer a discounted registration rate of $200 to all of your
members if they use the discount code "osbugluv" at registration. That’s $25
off the Early Bird rate, and $100 off our regular registration!
CONFERENCE PASS RAFFLE
We're also offering a free conference pass for you to raffle off to a member of
your group!
We’ve found that these raffles work best when you:
1) Let all of your members know about the conference, dates, and URL:
http://opensourcebridge.org/
2) Allow anyone in the group to sign up for the raffle.
3) Draw the winner at random, preferably at a public meeting.
When you have selected a winner, email
usergroups@opensourcebridge.org, CC the
winner, and we’ll register them for you.
Thank You!
