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.

OSGi Evening in Darmstadt - June 28

The OSGi Alliance Expert Groups are meeting in Darmstadt at the end of June.  As we will have many of the OSGi Expert Group members in town the Darmstadt JUG and IoT Hessen have kindly arranged a meetup on the evening of Tuesday June 28.

The evening will include updates on the Expert Group activities and a presentation about OSGi enRoute from:
BJ Hargrave (OSGi Alliance CTO and Core Platform Expert Group Chair)
David Bosschaert & Raymond Augé (OSGi Enterprise Expert Group Co-Chairs)
- Seven Ganlu & Tim Ward (OSGi IoT Expert Group Co-Chairs)
Peter Kriens (OSGi Alliance Evangelist)

The meeting will run from 18.30 to 20.30 after which I believe everyone will retire for some well earned German Beers.

Thanks also to Deutsche Telekom / Qivicon who are hosting the event at their offices at T-Online-Allee 1, Darmstadt.

Registration is essential.  Please visit the Darmstadt JUG meetup page to secure your spot and find out more details.

Ad of course a special thanks should also be extended to Software AG who are hosting all of the Expert Group meetings for the OSGi Alliance that week which means everyone will be in town.

Hope to see you there.
