Open Source Bridge and Social Networks
Open Source Bridge is coming! And, it's in Portland, which is a huge bonus. I wrote about it here: http://www.jroller.com/Sandymountster/entry/enhancing_your_website_... in my blog.
I attended OSB's first conference and gave a talk on Web2.0. OSB filled the gap left by OSCON when OSCON had their conference in California one year.
First of all, OSB's website is a great example of integration of social features. Secondly, it's a conference that's modeled after the Open Spaces concept, which is to say that attendees create the agenda and the "Law of Two Feet" prevails.
I had a great time, learned a lot and made lots of friends. I strongly suggest you consider going. Have any of you been to an OSB conference? We'd love to hear about it!
Stay tuned!

Happy 10th year, JCertif!
