Tomorrow is the last day to submit a speaking proposal for the O’Reilly Found conference. I’m co-chairing the  conference with Nate Buggia, who runs the Microsoft Live Search Webmaster Center. Found is a conference for web developers that focuses on the technical issues involved with building web sites that are search engine-friendly.

We particularly would like to hear from you if you:

  • Are a developer who has real-world experience making web infrastructure (LAMP stack, Microsoft stack, CMS systems, ecommerce systems, etc.) easily crawlable by search engines.
  • Are a developer who’s run into big search engine issues with your web app and have diagnosed things and lived through it. Tell us about your battle scars!
  • Manage developers or work with developers and have developed successful SEO processes that build search-friendliess into the development cycle.
  • Work for a company that provides infrastructure that makes SEO-friendly develoment easier.
  • Have case studies, metrics, and stories you can share about the importance of search today and how vital the technical side of development is to SEO.

Since time is running out, feel free to send a paragraph or two over about what you’d like to talk about and we can contact you to work out the details.

The conference is in the San Francisco area in June. If you’d like to attend, look for registration details early next year. And comment here, email, or use the conference site wiki to tell us what issues you’d like to hear more about at the conference!
