COWPU will be raffling off ONE pass to the Open Source Bridge Conference at a future meeting! Details will be coming soon...
Open Source Bridge is a new conference for developers working with open source technologies. It will take place June 17-19 in Portland, OR, 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.
Open Source Bridge is run entirely by volunteers who believe in the need for an open source conference 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 sessions and events will share 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 session proposals, so submit yours by the end of March 31st.
Some examples of our proposals so far: Brian Aker on Drizzle, a reboot of MySQL designed “for the cloud”; Linux Kernel hacker Greg K-H about how Linux manages development; Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, about what’s next in collaboration; Amber Case, an anthropologist living in both the physical and virtual worlds, about Cyborg Citizenship. (You can view all current proposals at here)
In addition to regular conference sessions, we will hold an unconference day for free-form sessions, and host a 24-hour dedicated “hacker lounge” at the top of the Portland Hilton. In addition to hosting the hacker lounge, the Hilton has offered Open Source Bridge attendees steeply discounted room rates, starting at $139/night.
Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the conference, see our session proposals, and register to attend.
Thanks!
PS: Interested in taking advantage of the user group discount code that will allow user group members to register for $150? Enter “osb4228” when you register to receive the discount.
