Hello,

In regards to my message earlier this month, here is the official call for 
papers for the Arizona Business and Liberty Experience being held on October 
2004, in Phoenix, Arizona.

===
The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience Conference (ABLEconf) is 
soliciting presentations for its second annual conference. ABLEconf will 
take place on Saturday, October 24th, 2009 at the University of Advancing 
Technology in Tempe, Arizona.
Continuing ABLEconf's drive to showcase free and open source software for 
business, we are seeking presentations in either 20 or 50 minute formats. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 SMB/SME
 Health/Medical Software and Systems
 Local Business Use of Free and Open Source Software
 Women in Technology and Business
 Education
 Multimedia
 Gadgetry and Fun Devices
 Green Computing
 Multi-Platform Applications and Free Software for proprietary systems
 Virtualization, Grid and Cloud Computing
 Network Setup, Management and Security
Proposals submitted by September 7th will qualify for an early bird prize 
drawing.
Proposals should include the following:
 title for the talk
 name, affiliation, bio and contact email address of the presenter (needed 
for publishing on the website and final program schedule)
 Is a 20 minute or 50 minute presentation is preferred?
 What will be covered? A list or a brief description of the main points to 
be presented should be submitted. Please include enough detail to enable the 
committee to evaluate the proposal.
 Please notify us if the presentation will require a special technical set 
up.
Submission formats in plain text, PDF and Open Document Format (ODF) will be 
accepted. As we are attempting to increase awareness of free and open 
technologies, it is highly desirable that presentations be done in open, 
non-proprietary formats.
Email proposals to proposals@ABLEconf.com.
To see an updated full listing of the desired tracks and requirements please 
visit the presentations page.
