Upcoming open source conferences (updated)
Here are a few upcoming open source conferences worth paying attention to:
- SugarCRM Developers Conference, Feb 6-8, San Jose, CA
- PHP Quebec, March 12-14, Montreal, Canada
- EclipseCon, March 17-20, Santa Clara, CA
- OSBC, March 25-26, San Francisco, CA
- ApacheCon Europe, April 7-11, Amsterdam, NL
- MySQL Conference & Expo, April 14-17, Santa Clara, CA
We'll have MySQLers at most if not all of these events. If you're thinking of hitting your boss up for a conference registration and travel, look for the early registration deadlines. You can easily save a few hundred bucks by registering early.
They're all good, depending on what you're looking for. OSBC is the best business focused open source conference, but keep in mind managers (and lawyers) outnumber developers. If you're looking for hardcore developer info, PHP Quebec, ApacheCon or the MySQL Conference are great. And for those looking for more specialized info, SugarCon and EclipseCon are good choices.
Ok, and what have I missed from around the world?
Update:Here are some additional conferences mentioned in the comments
-OpenIsland, Feb 1, Belfast, Ireland
- JBossWorld, Feb 13-15, Orlando, FL
- FOSDEM, Feb 23-24, Brussels, Belgium
- MuleCon, April 1-2, San Francisco, CA

Posted by: OpenIsland at January 25, 2008 07:27 AMThanks for this blog post, reminds me again how odd it is that nobody has created a website with all the key OSS conferences listed ..
Also it reminds me of a dream of mine: a world where everybody would markup dates/addresses/etc in their blogs using microformats. Not that I have been good at doing this myself, but I think its time we all push towards adding support for microformats into browser (just like they now support rss) and our blogging software.
...any PyCon 2008 in Chicago March 13-20 for all Python developers. Don't miss out! More info at http://us.pycon.org/.
Posted by: ricegf at January 29, 2008 11:37 AMDoes anyone use open source software for desktop management systems? Any suggestions regarding this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
