Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Oscon 2011 is just days away from happening. For some of you, attending Oscon may not be an option. It's possible that you have other obligations, don't have a budget for it, or even don't know much about it. Well have no fear, this year Oscon 2011 will be streaming live on Codetown via the group Oscon 2011. For those of you who are curious about it, take some time to watch an hour or so. Anyone who really wanted to attend is going to want to watch. Oscon is starting in just a few days time, so set aside some time and get ready to watch!
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.
