This year I want the Wikimedia technical community to have a strong presence at Open Source Bridge http://opensourcebridge.org/ in Portland, Oregon, USA, June 26-29. OSB is tech talks & hack sessions with hands-on technologists we want, for Foundation staff recruiting (the Portland tech scene has good people looking for jobs) and for volunteer recruiting and collaboration (tons of Mozilla people went there last year). Good talks, clueful people, great food. :-)
If you submit a talk and it gets accepted, tell me, and Wikimedia Foundation will partially subsidize or fully pay for your flight and hotel. If you submit a talk and it doesn't get accepted but you still want to go, talk with me and I'll see what I can do.
Call for talks: http://opensourcebridge.org/blog/2012/01/announcing-the-2012-call-for-proposals/ Ideas: the parser rewrite, Wikimedia Labs, how we scale and optimize performance on a shoestring budget, our git/gerrit migration, securing PHP-based webapps, various approaches to making our data more structured/semantic, collaborative design, lessons from our communities, JS hacks, hetdeploy, offline/mobile, geodata...
Please forward.

(I should add -- also there would be complications if somehow lots of Wikimedia people get their talks accepted and I can't budget to subsidize all of them, or you can't get a visa to the US in time, or some unforeseen thing comes up like that. But I don't predict those problems happening.)

Quick reminder: today's the deadline. Ward Cunningham, Rob Lanphier, and I have proposed talks.

Sorry for the spam, but they've extended the deadline to the 30th: http://opensourcebridge.org/blog/2012/03/cfp-deadline-extended-until-march-3...
