This is an all-day event takes place Tuesday, July 25 at OSCON.  
Organized by Matt Asay and Tim O'Reilly, the Executive Briefing will give
a limited number of attendees an exclusive opportunity to meet with the
innovators, entrepreneurs, and companies that we believe will have the
biggest impact on the world of open source in the year to come. Some of
the concepts the Executive Briefing will explore include:
- Open Source and the Future of Asymmetric Competition 
- Architecting Participation: Open Source 2.0

Fun at OSCON
OSCON runs five full days--and nights. One of the best things about OSCON
is connecting with interesting people you just wouldn't run into anywhere
else. To help you make those connections, we're planning all kinds of
receptions, special presentations (hint: Damian Conway and "The Da Vinci
Codebase"), tours, awards, "off-campus" shindigs, and a couple of other
surprises, too. Watch our Events page for more details:
