I will be speaking at this year's OpenCms Days conference. Alexander Kandzior was kind enough to invite me to present a session in the developers track.
The conference is in Köln, Germany, May 5th and 6th. So if you need a reason to take a trip to Germany....
For more information, see the conference website.
In case you are unfamiliar with OpenCms, it is a Java-based enterprise CMS system. While other Open Source CMS systems have targeted small organizations running on hosted ISPs, OpenCms is designed to meet the needs of the modern enterprise.

Linux.Com article on NA-CAP 2007
Linux.Com posted my article on NA-CAP 2007 today. It's called FOSS and the Philosophers.
I'm a little worried that posting a mainstream article like this may actually lead to backlash from the philosophical community. Some of them tend to get upset when they feel like philosophy is being "commercialized" (read: exposed to the general public).
Tony Beavers, on the other hand, has been very encouraging, and sent the article on to several IA-CAP officers. I've really enjoyed working with Tony on this conference. I have a lot of respect for him.

NA-CAP 2007
At the end of July, we hosted the North American Computers and Philosophy conference at Loyola University Chicago. And ETL did a lot of the work to make it go. Konstantin, George, and several of the graduate students made significant contributions to the conference, doing everything from hosting Richard Stallman to cleaning up the tables after the show.
The conference went fairly well, though some of the discussion -- particularly in Stallman's sessions -- was quite heated. But many of the papers were first rate, and I came home feeling inspired.
Some of the papers, including mine, are showing up at Slide Share. I gave my paper on Information Justice (the same paper I mentioned earlier). I was very happy with the outcome. I got some great feedback from legal scholars, ethicists, and FOSS advocates, and I think I'm getting close to having a publishable paper.
