The OSGi Community Event Program Committee is pleased to announce that the Call For Papers (CFP) for the 2017 event is NOW OPEN.

We are looking for submissions from anyone who has something to share about OSGi technology, the OSGi ecosystem or OSGi community.  All successful submissions receive a free speaker all access pass to the OSGi Community Event and EclipseCon Europe.

Popular topics often include use cases and case studies of using OSGi, OSGi open source projects or commercial OSGi products where you have some experience to share. Presentations on tools and frameworks that can improve the developer experience are also well received.  We are also looking for a 3-hour tutorial, so if you have a project or some examples on an OSGi specification where the audience can participate with you then we would welcome your submissions.

OSGi is used in many different environments and markets and we are interested in hearing from your use in any of them, be it enterprise, telecommunications, transport, retail, IoT, Industry 4.0, M2M, Cloud, or Smart Home, to name just a few.

It's always great to get submissions from new members to the community and/or new speakers so please don't be shy and get your submissions in.  Whether what you have to share is small or large, state-of-the-art or traditional, business critical or a pet project, we want to hear from you.

Your submission should be either for a 35-minute talk or a 3-hour tutorial. 

We are sharing the submission system with EclipseCon Europe so please be sure to select OSGi as the track when making your submission to be sure the OSGi Program Committee will get to review your proposal.

The CFP is open until July 17, however the Early Bird submission deadline is June 30.

As an added incentive to get your submissions in for the Early Bird deadline we will award a €50 Amazon Voucher to the talk selected for the OSGi Early Bird pick. Be sure to submit by June 30 to be in with a chance of winning this.

The OSGi Community Event 2017 will be taking place between October 24 to 26.  Once again this year the event is being held at the Forum am Schlosspark in Ludwigsburg, Germany.  As always there will be plenty of talks, BOFs, social events, beer, wine and food so make sure you have the dates in diary and start planning your travel and accommodation early.

If you have any questions please contact us by email.

MODCONF 2016 - CFP Open Now

A new conference, MODCONF, is being held in November this year.  As you can hopefully
guess by the name its all about Modularity and software. Clearly this is very applicable to OSGi so when the OSGi Alliance was invited to support the conference we were pleased to accept.

The first MODCONF will take place in Darmstadt, Germany on November 15, 2016.  The conference is being organised by Liferay but it will not be covering Liferay products. Co-located with the event is Liferay DevCon, which will cover their products.

The Call For Papers for the conference is open now and submissions from anyone in the OSGi Community are encouraged and very welcome.  You can find full details of the type of talks that they are looking for and how to submit a talk online here. Of course be sure to have a punch Title and Abstract to submit.

Also please ensure you list your submission as a Modularity Conference Talk as the talk type when submitting.

You will probably note that the CFP deadline is officially Aug 12.  I do however have it on good authority that they will be pleased to receive OSGi related submissions up to the end of August.  Thats still not too much time, so the sooner you can submit the better,

For those of you who don't want to provide a talk but are interested in attending you can find full details on how to register here.

We hope you can help ensure OSGi is well represented in the conference program and help make this new conference a success.  Please contact the Marketing team at the OSGi Alliance or the MODCONF organisers if you have any questions.

This is the largest OSGi event of the year so its a great conference to talk at and attend.  We will have more than 2 full tracks, a tutorial, BOF's, an OSGi IoT Demo and lots of opportunity to meet with your peers over presentations, the exhibitions, excellent entertainment and of course beers and food. 

Thanks to everyone that has made a submission already, we had a great response for the Early Bird deadline of the end of last month.

Thanks also to Bosch for their Elite Dual EclipseCon Europe and OSGi Community Event Sponsorship.  Their support is much appreciated.

The Early Bird talk selected is "OSGi on High Speed Trains in Germany" by Roland Ndaka Fru from Yaka5 GmbH. You can find the full abstract of the talk here.  This should be a great talk on how OSGi is delivering value in a real world business scenario we can all relate to.

The OSGi Keynote - "OSGi/Java in Industrial IoT: More than a solid trend — essential to scale into the world of Internet connected things" from Robert Andres at Eurotech Group, will also include a use case from Hitachi High Technologies by Water Hofmann discussing their predicative maintenance solution which is based on OSGi, courtesy of the Eurotech products that they use.
