[PLUG] O'Reilly Open Source Convention draws over 1,800

[Nguyen, Dat]

O'Reilly announced today that this year's Open Source Convention (OSCON)
drew over 1800 programmers, developers, strategists, and technical staff to
Portland, Oregon from July 7-11. For five days, convention goers delved into
a program designed to "embrace and extend proprietary software." Open source
software "has gone from being a question mark to an exclamation point," said
OSCON program chair and O'Reilly editor Nathan Torkington.
