Hi,

                     FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
         Asian Enterprise Open Source Conference 2003
               October 29th-31st, 2003 Singapore


This annual conference and expo aims to draw world-renowned experts in the
exciting field of Open Source and showcase the state-of-the-art of Open
Source Computing in the IT hub of South-East Asia, Singapore. AEOSC
started out as the Singapore Linux Conference in 1999 and was run as that
in 2000 and 2001.  This year, with the global recognition of Linux and
Open Source in general, the Singapore Linux Conference has been reinvented
as the Asian Enterprice Open Source Conference.

In this fourth edition, the conference will focus on the growth of Open
Source Software as a broadly available, trusted, secure and value for
money platform.

possible variety of areas and should not be regarded as exhaustive.
