Erlang Factory London - Talk Submission open until end of day on 13 April 2011

The Erlang Factory London is back! The dates you need for your diary are 6, 7 and 8 June for the Erlang University courses and 9 - 10 June for the Erlang Factory Conference.

This is the last day to submit your talk proposal. Do you have something you want to share with the programming world? A great project, something new or innovative? Then we want to hear from you. If you want to give a presentation at the Erlang Factory, you can find more information about how to do that, here.

There will be a new addition to the Erlang University this year with the introduction of the recently launched Erlang Solutions course on Test Driven Development with Erlang.

Registration will be opening shortly and the programme will be announced mid April. To get a feel for the conference take a look at last years programme, photos, talk videos and slides.

Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2011

We reached record delegate numbers with over 170 in attendance! The conference gave everyone a fantastic chance to listen to some great talks, network and socialise with some of the best programmers around. This year's conference saw an additional 9 talks over last year's and boasted the best programme we have put together yet with Twitter going wild over both days:

chaddepue - The number of attendees at #erlangfactory is much larger than last year - good news for the community and for functional programming.

cdubs - Wow; @kenji_rikitake tearing up RNGs--his talk's so hot he set off the #erlangfactory fire alarm!

kevsmith - Mind. Blown. #erlangfactory

You can view the slides on the website and the videos are currently being released. Follow @erlangfactory on twitter for the latest updates.

If you couldn't make this Factory, we hope to see you in London in June!
