Any of the above or developers who are interested in any of the above
but are not doing it yet.

I think "opposing proprietary software" should NOT be the theme.
I don't know "etc" so I cant comment regarding that ;-)

My preference is the set of dynamic languages and the tools around.
I think having s single presentation about Java (or C++) isn't too interesting,
either there are several such presentations or none.
That's why I am looking for people who will lead/organize etc. these tracks.

There should be some generic guidelines. Someone has to write them soon :-)

I don't have many original ideas, so I am going to copy most of the content of
CFP of OSDC::Australia: http://www.osdc.com.au/papers/cfp06.html
