Once a year, open source practitioners, advocates, and communities gather at OSCON to learn and connect, and consider the state of open source. It's big—the 18 tracks cover a panoply of open source technologies and themes. Roughly 400 people will be presenting—should you be one of them?

If you have a new idea, a better way to do something, an interesting and instructive case study (battle scars optional), or the desire to pass on your hard-won knowledge, submit a proposal to lead conference sessions or tutorials at OSCON 2012. Speaking at the event is a great way to share what you know with your peers, while getting projects, ideas, and your company in front of a savvy and connected audience.
