OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention: Opening your mind to open source for more than a decade

OSCON 2010: Heading back to Portland Oregon in the Oregon Convention Center July 19-23, 2010

OSCON brings together over 2,500 experts, visionaries, and hackers in the trenches to explore all that open source has to offer. OSCON is the premier gathering place to gain exposure to and evaluate the new projects, tools, services, platforms, languages, software, and standards sweeping through the open source community.

OSCON explores the open source technologies that are here to stay, what will broaden the foundation, and what will lead the way to unexpected places and innovations. This annual convention has also become one of the most important places to make open source related announcements, and to unveil projects and products.

Experience OSCON

At OSCON, you'll participate in hundreds of sessions encompassing the full range of open source languages and platforms, practical tutorials that go deep into technical skill and best practices, inspirational keynote presentations, an Expo Hall featuring dozens of the latest projects and products activities, fun networking events and activities, and the best "hallway track" around.

OSCON Topics
