EuroOSCON (O'Reilly European Open Source Convention) is seeking embedded Linux speakers for its second annual event, set for Sept. 18-21 in Brussels, Belgium, and themed “opening innovation.” Prospective topics include VoIP (voice-over-IP), device hacking, security, project management, and more.

O'Reilly's complete list of suggested topics includes:

  • Multimedia including voice (VoIP) and video
  • AI including spam-busting, classification, clustering, and data mining
  • Collaboration including email, calendars, RSS, OPML, mashups, IM, presence, and session initialization
  • Project best practices including governance, starting a project, and managing communities
  • Microsoft Windows-based open source projects including .NET, Mono, and regular C/C++/Visual Basic Windows apps
  • Enterprise Java techniques including integration, testing, and scalable deployment solutions
  • Linux kernel skills for sysadmins including virtualization, tuning, and device drivers
  • Device hacking including iPods, Nintendo, PSP, XBox 360, and beyond
  • Design including CSS, GUI, and user experience (XP)
  • Entrepreneurial topics including management for techies, how to go into business, and business models that work
  • Security including hardening, hacking, root kits (Sony and otherwise), and intrusion detection/cleanup
  • Fun subjects with no immediate commercial application including retro computing, games, and BitTorrent

Session and tutorial proposals should be “full of action,” organizers say, along with advice “above and beyond what's available online or in books.”
