Codetown ::: a software developer's community
For thirteen years the O'Reilly Open Source Convention has been bringing together people from across the open source universe to learn, collaborate, and inspire each other. OSCON provides a central place to gain exposure to and evaluate the new projects, tools, services, platforms, languages, software, and standards sweeping through the open source community and the broader technology industry.
Now is your chance to be part of the program. We're looking for speakers to lead sessions amd tutorials at OSCON 2011. The Call for Participation is open now through February 7.
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.
