The BoF is a regular occurrence at our annual event. This year we are asking you, the OSGi community, to provide us with your suggestions on topics that you think would be good to consider and discuss at the BoF. You can send us your ideas, even if you are not able to join us for the event or the BoF. We would, of course, love to have you there on person too to participate, so please do attend if you can.
To make your suggestions please visit our online form. You can optionally provide us with your name and email address if you would like to receive an update on the final BoF topic list.
The program for the conference has been announced. We will have 1 OSGi Keynote, 1 tutorial, 25 talks, the BoF, the OSGi IoT Demo, and lots of opportunity to meet and mingle with your peers and colleagues and participate in the included conference evening social events. Attendees to OSGi Community Event also get full access to the EclipseCon schedule and talks, so there is plenty to keep you busy for all 3 days.
Paul Fraser is presenting on OSGi enRoute and he has put together a 40-second fun video to entice you to join his talk - Its Beautiful enRoute. The talk is taking place on Tuesday 25 October between 15.45 and 16.20 in Seminarräume 1-3.
Finally, but definitely importantly, many thanks to our OSGi Community Event sponsors, whose support ensures we can continue to provide an excellent conference value every year.

Yes, thats Monday next week, so you don't have long left to get your submissions in. We are interested in talks and tutorials on all things OSGi - technical presentations, use cases, success stories, lessons learnt, you name it.
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.

We are pleased that the OSGi Community Event is being co-located with EclipseCon Europe again this year and it will take place October 25 to 27 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
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.

Wow! What a great conference. The EclipseCon organizer's were also very happy to have had the OSGi Developer Conference at EclipseCon and are very excited about doing this again next year. Me too. If you missed EclipseCon this year, start making plans to attend the OSGi Developer Conference at EclipseCon in 2008!
Monday was tutorial day at EclipseCon. There were a number of OSGi related tutorials which were well attended. Building Service Oriented Bundle Architectures was an all day tutorial on bundle programming. The session had over 60 attendees and Peter Kriens was tapped to deliver the "keynote" for the day. The Spring and OSGi Combined short tutorial also has a great turnout. We had a full room with over 40 attendees. The attendees were great and asked lots of awesome questions.
Finally, there was a Server-side Equinox BOF at 8:45pm (!) that was standing room only. There are a lot of people using or interested in using OSGi in server-side uses. And to make the BOF perfect, some kind soul from Compuware appeared with a bucket full of ice-cold Corona beer (which is an appropriate beer choice since Compuware leads the Eclipse Corona project :-).
