First Call for Papers: Asian Enterprise Open Source Conference 2003

“The Asian Enterprise Open Source Conference 2003 committee would appreciate
your circulating the message below on your local Linux User Group mailing list.

This annual conference and expo aims to draw world-renowned experts in the
exciting field of Open Source and showcase the state-of-the-art of Open Source
Computing in the IT hub of South-East Asia, Singapore. AEOSC started out
as the Singapore Linux Conference in 1999 and was run as that in 2000 and
2001. This year, with the global recognition of Linux and Open Source in
general, the Singapore Linux Conference has been reinvented as the Asian
Enterprise Open Source Conference.

In this fourth edition, the conference will focus on the growth of Open Source
Software as a broadly available, trusted, secure and value for money platform.

CONFERENCE

Papers are invited
for presentation during the Conference, which will be held on Wednesday 29th,
Thursday, 30th, and Friday, 31st October 2003. Following
the event success in the past, there will be two tracks, “Business” and “Technical”.
The topics below are meant to indicate the possible variety of areas and should
not be regarded as exhaustive.
