For those of you who do not already know, Developer Day Scotland 2 is now in planning (has been since last week, I have just been slow to post) and is now looking for speakers. As you can probably see from the banner on the right, the date for the event is the 2nd of May 2009.

What is Developer Day Scotland?

Developer Day Scotland (DDS) is a community event, run by community for community, which is based upon the highly successful Developer! Developer! Developer! (DDD) community conference events. – Developer Day Scotland website (http://www.developerdayscotland.com/)

Industry professionals (and students) come from all over scotland to attend sessions presented by members of the Scottish development community. These sessions span numerous areas including C#, Visual Studio, ASP.NET, Web Development and Internationalisation.

What happens next?

At present a call for speakers has gone out so if you have a talk you think you would like to submit then now is the time. For details on how to submit a session, visit the Developer Day Scotland website.

After sessions have been submitted voting will open to the public allowing the community to decide what they would like to see most at the event, this will dictate the agenda for the day and will narrow down the number of sessions.

Finally, the only thing left to do is attend the event. If your session is selected then you should be preparing your talk, presentation slides and code demos. If you are simply planning on attending then the only thing you need to worry about is writing the date down in your diary

These events are made a success by community participation and the fantasic support of the sponsors who make all of this possible at a price everyone can afford: FREE. So what do you have to lose?
