GOSCON 2008 Call for Speakers is Now Open!

Welcome to the 2008 GOSCON conference season! The conference Call for Speakers is now open.

GOSCON attendees are ready to move from the fundamentals, the models and the promise of open source to the practical implementation. 2008 will be a "show me" year. What are agencies doing, how did they do it, and where did they find the resources and support to make the project/ implementation/ migration/ integration a success?

The theme for 2008 is "Transforming the Delivery of Government Services". Our conference tracks this year include:

* Open Management (Legal, contracts, procurement, training and skills sets, planning and strategy)
* Open Implementation (Operations, collaborative development, systems integration)
* Open Public Health IT (special focus in this government vertical with rapid growth in OSS)
* Plus the International ICT Summit (national, provincial, local governments across the globe share their experience in a special day of general sessions)

Individuals and organizations with interest in presenting at GOSCON may visit the Call for Speakers page for guidelines and access to the conference on-line proposal submission form.

The deadline for proposals is July 16, 2008.
