Last week I had the privilege of covering the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland, Oregon. The first time I’ve been to that particular conference, and I hope it won’t be the last.
I did the whole schmear — Monday through Friday, start to finish. Aside from being very tired after spending five days at the conference, I’m really glad that I did go the entire week. I had the opportunity to attend a lot of interesting presentations and talks, and also got to sit down with a lot of really interesting folks from the open source community — and not just the big names, some of the most interesting people that I spoke with are the users of open source who are actually using the technology.
Of course, I have coverage up on NewsForge from OSCON: day one, day two, day three, and day four are up now, and the wrap-up should go up tomorrow, along with some video goodness.
