We've got OSCON on our minds

Join us for the 15th Anniversary of the O'Reilly Open Source Convention

Sometimes we do a quick reality check and realize that not everyone thinks about OSCON as much as we do. So, even though it's rapidly approaching, we're curbing the urge to flood you with details you already know.*

Instead, we'll share a few things you may not know:

A huge part of OSCON is made up of new speakers, fresh sessions, and things you haven't heard before. If you think the schedule features a classic cast of speakers and topics, you're right, but it's also so much more.

Open source is mainstream. Really mainstream. But that doesn't mean boring. It's still the province of brilliant, original thinkers and wildly creative hackers, but everyone else uses open source software, too. You've got to keep abreast of developments and best practices if you want to succeed.

Portland, Oregon is one of the coolest, most tech-friendly, comfortable-yet-progressive places to be. There's wonderful ambience, great food and drink, fresh air activities, and...OSCON.

Take a minute now to check out the schedule, convince your boss, or reserve your place. Early pricing ends June 6.

Here's hoping we'll see you at OSCON 2013.

*Namely that OSCON is the event for the open source community, it's brimming with open source knowledge, popular speakers and open source rock stars, and that in addition to great sessions, training, and industry news, there are nonstop extracurricular events that will keep you alert, intrigued, and engaged.
