Hey, folks. The people organizing Open Source Bridge asked me to pass this along.
Looks like a cool conference... and Portland is usually fantastic in the summer. -- Patrick > Open Source Bridge is a conference for developers working with open > source technologies. It will take place June 1–4, 2010, in Portland, > Oregon, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languages > and experience to explore how we do our work and why we participate in > open source. The conference structure is designed to provide > developers with an opportunity to learn from people they might not > connect with at other events. Attendees will learn and interact at > three days of traditional conference presentations, a day of free-form > unconference sessions, and our 24-hour Hacker Lounge. > > This year we are thrilled to have an excellent downtown location at > the Portland Art Museum ( http://pam.org/ ), an extra day packed full > of open source goodness, and an on-site 24-hour Hacker Lounge! As a > user group member, you can use the coupon code "osbugluv" to register > for only $200 when you select either an Early Bird Registration > (through April 1st), or a Regular Registration (after April 1st). > Learn more and register today at http://opensourcebridge.org/attend/ > > The conference is run entirely by volunteers who believe in the need > for an open source event that focuses on the culture of being an open > source citizen, regardless of where in the stack you choose to code. > All proceeds from conference registration and sponsorship go directly > to the costs of the conference. > > Our event shares in-depth knowledge about using, creating and > contributing to open source as citizens of a greater community. You’ll > find relevant information whether you write web apps for the cloud, > tinker with operating system internals, create hardware, run a > startup, or blog about technology. > > We're still seeking proposals — and we've just extended the deadline > through March 25th — so submit yours before time runs out at > http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/ > > The city of Portland is a great place to visit. It has a thriving > technical community, a love of all things open source and offers many > attractions for visiting geeks, including Powell’s technical books, > dozens of local brewpubs, and large greenspaces like Forest Park—all > accessible by mass transit. > > Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the conference, > see our session proposals, and register to attend. -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
