Open Source Bridge 2012
Igal Koshevoy
A conference is coming up that's organized by many of the same people
behind the workshops. Although some of the conference sessions are
advanced topics, we'll provide content suitable for those new to
programming, also the Hacker Lounge is a great place to meet others to
work on coding activities with.
Open Source Bridge is a volunteer-run conference for people who work
with open source technologies. It will take place June 26–29, 2012, at
the Eliot Center in downtown Portland. The conference includes five
tracks focused on connecting projects and experiences across different
areas of open source.
The schedule includes three days of traditional conference
presentations, a day of free-form unconference sessions, and our
vibrant Hacker Lounge, a space for socializing and collaboration.
You'll find relevant sessions and activities whether you write web
apps, tinker with operating system internals, create hardware, run a
business, write documentation, or contribute to open source in other
ways.
Our call for proposals has just been extended through March 30th. To
