| Long Talks |
|---|
| This year we have a very strong program. First the long talks, we had many more submissions than place so the program is exceptionally strong. From experience reports, Android, to distribution, to hardware like lego. All talks show how the power of OSGi is becoming more and more used over the whole field of computing. |

| The DoD, Open Source, and OSGi as a Server Infrastructure | Kit Plummer and Brian ONeill |
| How To Build Large Scale Enterprise Applications Using OSGi | David Savage |
| Android and OSGi: Can they work together? | BJ Hargrave and Neil Bartlett |

| Tutorials |
|---|
| If you really want to get some hands on experience, follow a tutorial. This year, the price of the tutorials is included in the admission fee of the conference. So you can follow as many tutorials as you like without any additional cost. And there should be several interesting tutorials for almost anybody interested in OSGi technology. |

| Short Talks |
|---|
| Short talks are ten minute talks that provide an insight in a specific topic. They are a perfect way to get a quick introduction in an area that you have little experience in. Short talks are great serendipity enhancers. It is quite amazing what some people can tell in ten minutes! |

| Panel |
|---|
| And last but not least, we have a panel. The topic that was most submitted this year was the dichotomy between services and extensions. In this area, your perspective usually defines how you look upon these. Coming from Eclipse you probably like extensions, coming from a more traditional OSGi background services look pretty good. Interestingly, the Jazz people seem to have invented some middle ground. The panel will have all the experts in the world in this area: BJ Hargrave, Neil Bartlett, Jeff McAffer, and James Branigan. The panel will be moderated by Peter Kriens, the OSGi Evangelist. |
| Panel: Services Versus Extensions | Peter Kriens |
