The O'Reilly Open Source Convention this year includes an XML track, XTech 2001, being held in co-operation with the GCA.

The XML program committee invites submissions of tutorials or convention presentations on pure XML topics, open source XML applications and the use of XML in open source platforms. Submissions tailored for open source developers new to XML, as well as those that highlight the cutting edge of XML technology are sought.

Submissions by marketing staff or with a marketing focus will not be accepted.

The deadline for tutorial and presentation proposals is February 9, 2001

Further details and guidelines for submission may be found in the full Call for Participation.

Edd Dumbill, XML Track Chair.
