OSCON Promo blurb: “The O'Reilly Open Source Convention, happening July 24-28, 2006 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, is where early adopters, coders, expert users, sys admins, entrepreneurs, and business people working in free and open source software gather to share ideas, discover code, and find solutions. Come to OSCON to debate, make deals, and connect face to face with thousands of friends, colleagues, and fellow geeks in the open source—and soon-to-be open source—community.â€
See OSCON web site for conference schedules and events.
Note: Drupal and CivicSpace (which powers our web site) will be exhibitors at OSCON. They will also hold an offsite “convention within a convention†called DrupalCon (probably at PSU). DrupalCon location, dates and times TBA.
