Look, I know this isn't our normal type of post. No code snippets, no real world examples, etc. Barely even a trace of wit and/or style.
Ok, maybe the lack of style thing really is in keeping with our normal posts. Whatever.
Point is that this is Important Stuff and, therefore, you need to know:
The deadline for submitting proposals for Open Source Bridge is fast approaching, as in you-need-to-get-yours-in-in-under-20-days-as-of-this-writing fast. Or, more specifically, by March 31.
So what, exactly, is Open Source Bridge? Well, my under-rock dwelling friend, it is:
Open Source Bridge is a new conference for developers working with open source technologies. It will take place June 17-19 in Portland, OR, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languages, and backgrounds to explore how we do our work, and why we participate in open source. The conference structure is designed to provide developers with an opportunity to learn from people they might not connect with at other events.
Them's their words, of course. Me? I like to think of it as The OSCON Replacement That Will No Doubt Be Better Than Its Predecessor, So San Jose Can Just Keep That Bloody Thing Because We Don't Need Them In Portland, Anyway, Conference.
Granted, "Open Source Bridge" rolls off the tongue a little easier.
So go to the Open Source Bridge site. Submit a proposal! Volunteer! Sponsor!
And if you can't do any of those things, just make sure to register and get your bums to Portland in JUNE.
