It covers numerous programming languages across a range of operating systems. We're seeking papers on Open Source languages, technologies, projects and tools as well as topics of interest to Open Source developers. The conference will be held in Melbourne, Victoria (Monash University's Caulfield Campus) from the 6th to the 8th of December, 2006. Last year's conference had about 160 people and around 60 presentations on a range of topics - see http://osdc2005.cgpublisher.com/proposals/ for a list.
