<p style="color:#333333;font-size:13px;line-height:16px;margin:0;padding:5px 0">Sometimes we do a quick reality check and realize that <em>not everyone</em> thinks about OSCON as much as we do. So, even though it's rapidly approaching, we're curbing the urge to flood you with details you already know.<span style="font-size:18px;font-weight:bold">*</span></p>
<p style="color:#333333;font-size:13px;line-height:16px;margin:0;padding:5px 0">Instead, we'll share a few things <strong>you may not know</strong>:</p>

<li style="margin:0 0 5px">A huge part of OSCON is made up of <strong>new speakers, fresh sessions, and things you haven't heard before</strong>. If you think the schedule features a classic cast of speakers and topics, you're right, but it's also so much more.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;margin:5px 0 0;padding:0 0 0 20px;color:#333333;line-height:16px">
<li style="margin:0 0 5px">Open source is mainstream. Really mainstream. But that doesn't mean boring. It's still the province of <strong>brilliant, original thinkers and wildly creative hackers,</strong> but everyone else uses open source software, too. You've got to keep abreast of developments and best practices if you want to succeed.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;margin:5px 0 0;padding:0 0 0 20px;color:#333333;line-height:16px">
<li style="margin:0 0 5px">Portland, Oregon is one of the <strong>coolest, most tech-friendly, comfortable-yet-progressive places to be.</strong> There's wonderful ambience, great food and drink, fresh air activities, and...OSCON.</li>
