[JDEV] UK or European based developer?

[Alan Lenton]

Dear Jabber people,

I am organising a Linux and Open Source track for next year's UK
Association of C and C++ Users Group, and I was wondering if any UK or
European based developer would like to give a talk about Jabber at it? The
spring 2002 conference will be held in Oxford, England 4-6th April, and we
are expecting 400-500 programmers to atend it.

The conference will be addressing a broad range of programming/development
issues including C#, Java, Python and Linux/Open Source as well as a
substantial coverage of C++ and C. We hope we will manage to provide a
track on 'one programmer' development - i.e. programming for individuals,
often just for themselves. There is one keynote speech each day, and the
keynote speeches are plenary sessions. Keynote speeches tend to be more
general than presentations in tracks.

To give you some idea of the scope and breadth of the conference, confirmed
speakers (in no particular order) so far include

Bjarne Stroustrup <bs at day.research.att.com>
Kevlin Henney <kevlin at curbralan.com>
Stan Lippman <slippman at objectwrite.com>
