AT THE HEART OF THE MOVEMENT: PARTICIPATE IN
THE O'REILLY OPEN SOURCE CONVENTION


Sebastopol, CA--One of the most anticipated open source conferences is
gearing up for its 2002 edition: the O'Reilly Open Source Convention.
The creators, players, pundits, and products come together annually at
the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, happening this year at the
Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina in sunny San Diego, California,
July 22-26, 2002.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
This five-day event is designed for programmers, developers,
strategists, and technical staff involved in open source technology and
its applications. We're especially seeking presentations that invoke
open source's innovative, do-more-with-less origins and address the
challenges of today's economic turbulence. What technologies will
thrive, and help us to thrive, in the future? Creating and reinvesting
in community is at the core of open source philosophy--what open source
initiatives continue to strengthen these values?

The O'Reilly Open Source Convention begins with two days of rigorous
tutorials aimed at novices and experienced users of Perl, MySQL, PHP,
Python, XML, Linux, and other key open source technologies. All
tutorials are designed to provide concrete knowledge that leads
directly to greater productivity.

Following the tutorial sessions are three days of multi-tracked
convention sessions focusing on leading technologies, best practices
and case studies, feature talks, demonstrations, and panel debates
examining: Perl, PHP, XML, databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redhat DB,
Sleepycat), operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS
X), Python, Apache, and Java. Emerging topics, ethics, and political
and legal issues will also share the debate limelight.

All presenters whose talks are accepted will receive free registration
at the conference.  Deadline for submission of proposals is March 1,
2002. Speakers will be notified by March 11, 2002. Convention
registration opens April 1, 2002.

WORDS ABOUT THE 2001 O'REILLY OPEN SOURCE CONVENTION
"It's a rare thing to attend a computing conference where something
actually happens--here, instead of people waxing profound on the
possibilities of this technology or that (in between coffee breaks),
you get a surprise announcement that's certain to shake up the world as
we know it. But there's a sense here this week that this
conference--the O'Reilly Open Source Convention--might be one of those
that amounts to something: Minds will be changed. People will see the
light. The world will be better after this."
--Farhad Manjoo, Wired, July 25, 2001

"O'Reilly's Open Source Conference (OSCON) is easily the most
interesting technical event I attend every year. Each day at the
conference I get the chance to talk with brilliant, passionate people
who have done amazing work. I doubt that in the course of my life I
will ever be in a place where the average IQ or level of dedication is
any higher."--WebMonkey, August 2, 2001

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
