Hello folks,

BSDCan 2007 will be held May 18-19, 2007, in Ottawa at University of
Ottawa.  We are now requesting proposals for papers.

The papers should be written with a very strong technical content
bias. Papers and proposals of a business development or marketing
nature are not appropriate for this venue.

If you are doing something interesting with a BSD operating system, 
please submit a proposal.  You might be developing a very complex 
system using BSD as the foundation.  Perhaps you are helping others 
and have a story to tell about how BSD played a role. People using 
BSD as a platform for research are also encouraged to submit a 
proposal. Perhaps you want to submit a proposal such as "How we 
manage a giant installation with respect to handling spam / sysadmin 
/ networking. All these stories are welcome.  Both users and 
developers are encouraged to share their experiences.   

The schedule is:

19 Dec 2006 Proposal acceptance begins
19 Jan 2007 Proposal acceptance ends
19 Feb 2007 Confirmation of accepted proposals
19 Mar 2007 Abstracts due
19 Apr 2007 Formatted final papers must arrive no later than this 
date
