Today Only. Message-ID: <24007.1308223484@pier.ecn.purdue.edu> I've been to at least two Open Source Conferencces but don't go any more because they are expensive (yep, even if Purdue pays for it---I'm cheap even with tax money). If you haven't been to one and work with open source software you may want to go to at least one. If you do go I suggest attending lightening talks (a series of a dozen or so five minute talks). -mark -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

Many or all of these are available over the web for free from computers at Purdue. See http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1znrk4dvdag7hn6qh5uhpdqvm5h4knqc3gk6domv8 20% OFF O'REILLY OPEN SOURCE CONFERENCE I've been to at least two of these in the past and don't plan to go again. In my opinion they're a rip off. I find the web, blogs, and mailing lists to be a more than adequate substitute. For Perl stuff go to YAPC::NA (Yet Another Perl Conference::North America)---it is much cheaper. It's in Portland Oregon July 25--29. I haven't investigated which discounts can be used or which discounts can be used together. As a valued O'Reilly customer, you can also Save 20% (over $400) when you register for OSCON. Use code "os11perl." See http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zhhk2au1s8t6ejg5v6d6lffpnp08cn6t9mf3q0eo and for alumni discount, academic staff discount, etc. see https://en.oreilly.com/oscon2011/public/register#order_discount_description -mark
