While some of you are toiling away in the corporate dungeons, I am hopefully filling up my brain with lots and lots of good open source information.
Portland’s amazing tech community is putting on an incredibly low cost conference at the Oregon Convention Center:
Open Source Bridge is a new conference for developers working with open source technologies and for people interested in learning the open source way. It’s not a typical technical conference. Here’s what makes it different:
- It’s entirely volunteer-run, by developers, for developers. This is the conference you’ve always wanted to attend.
- Session tracks are technology agnostic, based instead around shared community experiences and focused on similarities between projects, not differences.
- The geekery doesn’t end when the sessions do. There will also be a 24-hour hacker lounge for code sprints, bug bashes, session deep dives, bouncing ideas, starting new projects or just mingling and taking in the vibe.
Amazing, you say…how come you didn’t tell me about it before, you say…I can’t get off work to attend, now what do I do, you say…
Fear not, many of the sessions are being lived streamed. Just head on over to:
