The ConFoo team just opened its call for papers. Candidates can submit proposals until September 23. Consult the call for papers page for details and to start submitting. That page also explains what expenses ConFoo can cover for speakers. You can even get advice on how to write proposals. The call for papers is public, meaning that all proposals get published on the website for others to vote and comment on.

This year's event is happening from February 25th through March 1st in Montreal, Canada with tracks covering things like .NET development, Project Management, Web Standards, DevOps and, of course, PHP. The Call for Papers closes on September 23rd so you have less than a month to get your proposals in!

If you have never heard of ConFoo, it is one of the most important developer-oriented conferences. The team brings you speakers from around the globe to share their hands-on experience with various web technologies. The best news is: it's driven by the community and is non for profit!

The call for papers opens on August 27 and is important even if you are not a speaker. You can vote on all the proposals as they come in, telling the team exactly what you wish to learn.

If you're interested in speaking this year, you can sign up for their newsletter and get notifications. If you'd just like to find out more about the event, check out the main conference site. (For a look at last year's event, take a look at its schedule.)
