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.

Chris Price discusses the critical shift from catching bugs at runtime to identifying them during the build process. He explains how leveraging modern programming language features such as static typing in dynamic languages, null safety, immutable data structures, and exhaustive pattern matching can significantly enhance code maintainability and prevent expensive production issues.
By Chris PriceResilience helps individuals and organizations respond to challenges. Personal resilience is built through adapting, technical resilience by mastering a variety of tools, and organizational resilience through flexibility and strong networks. In fast-changing software industries, recognizing tech shifts and fostering learning, flexibility, and collaboration, enhances resilience.

By Sergio De SimoneKennedy Torkura discusses cloud attack emulation as a critical strategy for senior software developers and architects. He explains adopting the attacker's perspective, moving beyond passive assessments to active validation, and the principles of threat-informed defense to enhance cloud security posture. Learn about detection limitations and the necessity of continuous testing.
