Open Source Bridge is a conference for those working with open source technologies. It will take place June 23–26, 2015, in Portland, Oregon, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languages and experience 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. Attendees will learn and interact at three days of traditional conference presentations, a day of free-form unconference sessions, and our all-day Hacker Lounge.
We’re also seeking presentation proposals through March 14th. Read our Call for Proposals here:http://opensourcebridge.org/call-for-proposals
As a user group member, you can use the coupon code “osbugluv” to register for only $215 when you select Regular Registration. Learn more and register today at http://opensourcebridge.org/attend/
The conference is run entirely by volunteers who believe in the need for an open source event that focuses on the culture of being an open source citizen, regardless of where in the stack you choose to code. All proceeds from conference registration and sponsorship go directly to the costs of the conference.
Our event shares in-depth knowledge about using, creating, and contributing to open source as citizens of a greater community. You’ll find relevant information whether you write web apps for the cloud, tinker with operating system internals, create hardware, run a startup, or blog about technology.
The city of Portland is a great place to visit. It has a thriving tech community, a love of all things open source, and offers many attractions for visiting geeks, including Powell’s Technical Books, dozens of local brewpubs, and large greenspaces like Forest Park — all accessible by mass transit.
Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the conference, see our session proposals, and register to attend.
Thanks!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Major observability platform providers are integrating artificial intelligence into their monitoring systems, as enterprises look to their suppliers to reduce the manual work involved in keeping an eye on digital infrastructure. Companies have implemented AI-driven features designed to automate routine operational tasks and accelerate incident resolution processes.
By Matt SaundersA new benchmark study from observability platform Coroot has shed light on the performance costs of implementing OpenTelemetry in high-throughput Go applications. The findings show that while OpenTelemetry delivers valuable trace-level insights, it introduces notable overhead, increasing CPU usage by approximately 35% and increasing network traffic and latency under load.
By Craig RisiAnthropic has upgraded Claude with new app-building capabilities, allowing users to create, host, and share AI applications directly from text prompts. This functionality, known as Artifacts, enables users to build functional tools like data analyzers, flashcard generators, or study aids by simply describing their ideas.
By Daniel DominguezSavannah Kunovsky and Jenna Fizel, co-managing directors of IDEO’s Emerging Technology division, talk about the future of technology in general and how we can work with our users to build the most impactful product. They explore prototyping and co-design techniques, as well as how generative AI can help with rapid prototyping.
By Savannah Kunovsky, Jenna FizelAI images typically bloat from massive library installations and base OS components, with large Docker images slowing AI development and increasing costs. Chirag Agrawal demonstrates how to diagnose bloat using Docker's history and the interactive 'dive' tool to examine each layer in detail. The article shows how effective diagnosis leads to targeted optimizations.
