O'Reilly Launches European Open Source Convention (EuroOSCON)
Sebastopol, CA-/July 20, 2005 - Wi-Fi Technology News/-Europe has proven to be particularly welcoming to open source projects and innovators. Widespread adoption by European governments and organizations has signaled strong support for open source technologies and has put that part of the world squarely in a leadership position in the open source space. Recognizing this, and to continue championing open source in an international forum, O'Reilly Media has launched its first O'Reilly European Open Source Convention (EuroOSCON).
Registration has just opened for EuroOSCON, which will be held at the Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on October 17-20, 2005. Discounted registration pricing is in effect until August 29.
EuroOSCON 2005 targets the specific needs of European developers, programmers, and systems and network administrators, helping them to deliver the benefits of open source technology in all its variations to their companies and organizations. Like OSCON, its US counterpart, EuroOSCON aims to be the crossroads of all things open source, bringing together diverse projects and communities from across the continent and around the world. By highlighting emerging technologies, the convention helps to evangelize the newest and most promising applications and developments to the widest possible audience.
The program committee has assembled tutorials, sessions, panel discussions, and on-stage conversations focusing on all aspects of building applications, services, and systems that take advantage of the open source platform with an emphasis on practical skill-building. Mature technologies will be explored in depth alongside newer and less developed software and tools, allowing attendees to take in the full range of open source's capabilities.
