Anyone interested in presenting should visit http:\/\/www.swfox.net\/callforspeakers.aspx, read the Call for Speakers, and download the proposal submission application. Session proposals are due by March 16.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re hoping to add a track this year called Technology for the VFP Developer. It&#8217;ll cover things other than VFP that make life easier for FoxPro developers, like source control and virtual machines. Of course, we still plan to offer a good selection of topics in core VFP development, extending VFP, using VFP with other technologies, and of course, VFPX.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you have something to say to the VFP community, please submit session proposals, even if you&#8217;ve never spoken at a conference before. Our community is strengthened when more people take an active role. Do be aware that speaking at a conference is a serious commitment. Even for experienced speakers, preparing a new session takes 40-80 hours. Doing it well at the conference calls for several rehearsals beforehand, too. So make sure you can commit the necessary time&#8211;the Call for Speakers lays out all the deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing what you all come up with. Reading through the proposals we receive each year is really exciting, and choosing among them is always a challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we released the Call for Speakers for Southwest Fox 2009.
