What worked for me last year was convincing management that usage of Open Source Software meant involvement in Open Source. I pointed out that the convention afforded a rare opportunity to show that involvement. This year unfortunately that didn't cut it, as the focus is moving the company into the J2EE space. With only one talk scheduled on JBoss (Using JBoss.org: A Java 2 Enterprise Edition-based Container) and the fact that all travel expenses are drastically cut back this year I was unable to find a pitch that worked -- Still hoping for next year though :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
