The ConFoo conference has announced that their Call for Papers has been extended until September 16th for this years event happening February 29th through March 2nd.

Many of you are just back from vacation. because of that, we decided to extend the call for papers until September 16. For speakers, that means more time to prepare abstracts. For everyone else, it's more time to read the proposals and cast your vote.

You can find out more information about the ConFoo Call for Papers in their site. They're looking for topics ranging from Java, Ruby and Javascript out to Web Standards, Project Management and Agile methods. If you'd like to submit papers, you can head to their submission form or you can rate other proposals.
