Hello

With September rushing in so close and preps leading towards the final arrangements for the conference, we have started approving sessions and speakers for OSI Days 2010. The first list of speakers has been published along with some of their sessions.

We are pleased to have a number of FOSS Rock stars with us at this edition, including:

• Bastian Feder, A Prolific PHP Speaker,
• Dave Hall, Drupal Rockstar,
• David Coallier, President (PEAR Group),
• David Recordon, Senior Open Programs Manager (Facebook),

Thank you for the immense response to the call for papers for OSI Days 2010. We are humbled and honored. After the end of the initial period of call for papers on June 15th, we extended the deadline to June 25th, which expired a few days ago.

The call for papers is now officially over for the PHP and Open Source Databases tracks. We are not switching off the proposal submission process completely, but from this point onwards, only proposals that have that special something stand a chance.

The original deadline for submitting proposals for OSI Days 2010 was over on June 15th. However, we have been receiving many submissions since then, specially from Indian Speakers. Some of our international speakers have requested us to extend the deadline to accommodate them as well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For such a warm response to the conference.

We appreciate your love and support in the organisation of OSI Days 2010. It makes our commitment to organising the premier Asian open source conference even stronger and gives us the conviction that together we will make that dream come true.
