Registration Opened for O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON)--8/1-5/2005

Registration has just opened for OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. It's taking place August 1-5 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. Exploring what's afoot, what's fun, what's ahead, and the continuing challenges of adopting, integrating, and learning the basics of open source technologies are what OSCON is all about. This year's OSCON focuses on three deep trends affecting open source: the commoditization of software, network-enabled collaboration, and software customizability. [Bill Fox]
