Call for presenters – Java and JVM track at OWF 2011 - Deadline: July 8th

On September 23 and 24 2011 in Paris, during the Open World Forum (the first global open source forum in Europe – https://openworldforum.org/ – that gathered around 1500 persons on the last couple of years), we are organizing a developer track dedicated to open source Java and JVM based projects, as part of a more general “Code” theme that is being introduced this year.

Are you a core contributor on an Apache, Eclipse and OW2 project? Have you developed your own significative open source project on the Java platform? Do you consider yourself an expert on Java (the language), Java EE, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, JRuby, Jython, etc.? Have you developed pragmatic applications in your enterprise using these innovative technologies? The Java track of the OWF 2011 is the opportunity for you to share your vision or your experience with fellow developers!

Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of topics we would like to cover:
