Call for Papers - Now Closed

Open Publish 2008 is now calling for speaking proposals on management and implementation issues relating to publishing technology based on open standards.

Focusing on the needs of government and enterprise publishers, Open Publish will discuss technology and standards from the perspective of project management methodologies, best practice implementations and human / business factors.

With the objective of fostering a greater sense of community for managers, developers and production staff, Open Publish aims to provide the informal collaboration of a user group combined with presentations from the leading thinkers and practitioners in publishing.

Therefore, we have specific interest in hearing from speakers with expertise in the following areas:

  • methodologies for evaluating and implementing content management solutions
  • cost estimation, return on investment, quality and risk management for content-related projects
  • developing solutions based on existing web infrastructure (mash-ups)
  • documenting and managing publishing system requirements
  • business perspectives on open content such as Wikipedia
  • best practices for content creation and conversion

Pre-Conference Tutorials

The conference committee is now also soliciting proposals for half-day or full-day tutorials on any topics related to the event.
