“The word for a while has been that Portland is a hot bed of
Linux and Open Source developers. It looks like they have decided
to put that concentrated open source expertise to a new use: a
conference dedicated to developers, with the goal of collaborating
around some of the remaining hard problems. Oh, and, no, the
conference is not exclusive to Portlanders or web-toed Pacific
Northerwest denizens. In fact, the hope is that the conference will
draw developers into the northwest to draw on the rich expertise
available and also provide access to a wider cross section of
developers that is present at some of the other conferences.“One might ask, though, is one more conference one conference
too many…?”
