O’Reilly’s annual OSCON event attracted a range of open source enthusiasts who were treated to impressive keynotes, a range of “lightening talks,” and plenty of in-depth technical sessions.
O’Reilly’s yearly open source conference, OSCON, held in Portland, Oregon, attracted more than 3,000 attendees between July 21 and 25. A variety of talks covered topics such as real-life stories on the adoption of open source tools in major corporations, open source community tips, security, Perl, Python, Ruby, open source databases, and legal issues. Into the mix came a variety of “lightning talks,” in which representatives for both established and new projects had the opportunity to present themselves or give a status update within five minutes to fairly large audiences with high tolerance levels.
