OSCamp / FOSSCoach at OSCON

[Zak Greant]

Howdy Barcampers,

Next week there will be a Barcamp-like open internet event happening
in Portland (from Wednesday to Friday, to be precise.)

The event is called FOSSCoach and it will focus on helping people
learn, share and improve the essential skills required to participate
in collaborative, free and open online projects like Firefox® and
Wikipedia.

The event will do this through a mix of presentations and hands-on
coaching from experts in the field.

Presentations are on interesting topics like how to make a living as a
community manager and how to get started hacking on Firefox. Attending
coaches include people like David Ascher, Mozilla Messaging CEO and
Cat Allman from Google's Open Source Programs Office.

You can get a good overview of the Portland event including
information on who else is participating, what sessions are lined up
and more at:

Attendance is free, though you do need to register:

I hope that you can make it!
