This Week is LinuxCon in Portland

LinuxCon – The New Annual Technical Conference for All Matters Linux

LinuxCon is a new annual technical conference that will provide an unmatched collaboration and education space for all matters Linux. LinuxCon will bring together the best and brightest that the Linux community has to offer, including core developers, administrators, end users, community managers and industry experts.

In being the conference for “all matters Linux”, LinuxCon will be informative and educational for a wide range of attendees. We will not only bring together all of the best technical talent but the decision makers and industry experts who are involved in the Linux community.

Speakers Include: Linus Torvalds, Mark Shuttleworth – Founder of Ubuntu, Bob Sutor – VP of Open Source & Linux at IBM, Noah Broadwater – VP of Information Services at Sesame Workshop, Imad Sousou – Director of the OSTC at Intel, Matt Asay of Alfresco, James Bottomley – Kernel Developer, and many more of the community’s top talent.

Open Source Bridge

Open Source Bridge is a new conference for developers working with
open source technologies and for people interested in learning the open
source way. It’s not a typical technical conference.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • It’s entirely volunteer-run, by developers, for developers. This is the conference you’ve always wanted to attend.
  • Session tracks are technology agnostic, based instead around shared
    community experiences and focused on similarities between projects, not
    differences.
  • The geekery doesn’t end when the sessions do. There will also be a
    24-hour hacker lounge for code sprints, bug bashes, session deep dives,
    bouncing ideas, starting new projects or just mingling and taking in
    the vibe.
