Module leads and committers,<div><br></div><div>Part of being a key contributor to Seam is having the opportunity to demonstrate your hard work. JUDCon [1] (and also local JBoss or Java user groups) is an ideal venue for getting out there and building your resume as a speaker (if it appeals to you). I&#39;d rather you speak about your module then for the Seam leads to speak on your behalf. Don&#39;t hesitate to submit an abstract before the deadline this Friday (or anytime for user groups).</div>

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://jboss.org/events/JUDCon">http://jboss.org/events/JUDCon</a></div><div><br></div><div>The conference is free. We can&#39;t promise to cover travel costs, but SouthWest flights to Boston are quite cheap and we can find a local JBossian to host you if you can&#39;t pay for a hotel room. I&#39;ve got you covered for drinks. Don&#39;t let excuses get in the way. Go for it! </div>

<div><br></div><div>-Dan</div><div><br></div><div>p.s. There is a JUDCon in both US and Europe. This one is in the US, after which the European one will be likely announced. Another option is to speak at a JBoss User Group or start your own: <a href="http://www.jboss.org/usergroups">http://www.jboss.org/usergroups</a><br clear="all">
