OSCON 2008


Allison Randall: The call for participation for the 2008 O’Reilly Open Source Convention is out. This year marks the 10th anniversary of OSCON, of the Open Source Initiative, of Mozilla, and of the term “Open Source”, so a huge celebration is in order. OSCON will be in Portland, Oregon again this year, one of the key Open Source hubs in North America. It will be co-located with the 2nd annual Ubuntu Live conference, which is also currently running a call for participation.

There are 16 tracks listed in this year’s CFP.  Last year, there were 13.  I’m encouraging Damien to submit a proposal on CouchDB.  I’m considering a talk or a tutorial on migrating to Ruby 1.9/2.0.  There’s plenty of areas in the ASF that merit proposals, particularly in the incubator (example: Shindig, which just started last month).
