Hello,

Are you ready for OSCON? The 15th annual Open Source Conference in
Portland, OR, is July 22-26, but you can still register (20% off with
discount code, OS13UG) and get your schedule in order so you don't miss
things like the Community Leadership Summit, the CloudStack Poker
Party, or the always educational (and sometimes humorous) Ignite.
There's so much happening, we've dedicated this entire newsletter to
OSCON and Portland.

just starting out, you are invited to join other OSCON attendees Monday
evening for a run/jog/walk through some of the most scenic and
emblematic sites of Portland. Glow sticks will be provided! The run
will start at the Oregon Convention Center and is open to all attendees

hosting an after-party with food, drinks, music, and lots of fun.)

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. 
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
definition, not smart enough to debug it.     -- Brian W. Kernighan
