OpenSourceWorld Report

Jono Bacon reports on the co-located OpenSourceWorld, NGDC, and CloudWorld conferences.

Aug 17, 2009

Last week I took the 20-minute BART ride from the East Bay over to Moscone West in San Francisco to visit what was once known as LinuxWorld and is now OpenSourceWorld, Next Generation Data Center, and CloudWorld all rolled into one event. Like many others, having been to previous LinuxWorlds, I was curious to see how this re-branding and grouping of events would pan out. LinuxWorld had been getting quite the panning (no pun intended) over the last five years or so, so could the new event cut the mustard and reel back in its once committed group of sightseers?

Meeting the President of Brazil at FISL 10

FISL 10.0 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, included a visit from a special guest.

Jul 02, 2009

FISL 10.0 in Porto Alegre, Brazil was the best yet, for many reasons. For a long time I have been impressed with how the FISL organizers (most, if not all of which are volunteers) have brought together government, industry and the community to put on an ever-larger and more complex event.

Book Review: Head First Web Design

Curt Shontz cracks open O'Reilly's Head First Web Design

Great designers understand far more about building web sites than just generating markup and style rules.

Head First Web Design treats each of these subjects and dozens of others with thoroughness and flair.

Mar 02, 2009

Self-contained pre-conferences marked day zero at the seventh annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE), including the Women In Open Source (WIOS) conference, Open Source Software In Education (OSSIE), a Fedora activity day, two training tracks, and a Zenoss community day. One mini-conference grew large enough to spin off as a self-contained entity: the Demonstrating Open Source Healthcare Solution (DOHCS) conference, now in its third year, examined the comparatively low-profile work undertaken in the medical field.
