O'Reilly Open Source Convention - OSCON July 20, 2009

What Does Open Source Mean for You and Your Business? Find Out at OSCON 2009, July 20-24 in San Jose, CA.

The theme of the 11th O'Reilly OSCON is "Open for Business: Sustaining, Applying, and Expanding Open Source To Change the World."

Registration for OSCON is open, and registrants are responding quickly, eager to meet the challenges and opportunities of current economic conditions, which invite the open source community to sustain, apply, and expand open source to change the world. At the core of so many emerging technologies, open source is driving the innovation engine, offering ways to save technology costs in your organization and to keep your business moving forward in tough times. Join us in San Jose, as we redefine the future of open source, including the savings and the profit it can mean for all of us.

More than 200 sessions will focus on how open source can save money, save the day, and spread the word. Seventeen tracks include: Administration, Business, Databases, Desktop Applications, Design & Usability, Emerging Topics, Java, Linux, Mobile, People, Perl, PHP, Programming, Python, Ruby, Security, and Web Applications. More than enough to satisfy the 3,000 or so conference participants, many looking for new opportunities to regroup, retrain, and rebuild.

Some 3,000 developers and programmers, designers, sys admins, hackers and geeks, enterprise developers and managers, IT managers and CxOs, entrepreneurs, activists, trainers and educators will gather to confront the realities of open source in today's environment--how to stay competitive, how to open up new avenues for open source, and how to find better ways to use open source in every aspect of business and life. Open source continues to thrive and grow because better ways to increase ease of use and lower the cost of deployment continue to be found.
