And the winner is…Open Source
Bring Us Your Open Source Expertise

Tim O'Reilly

Now in its 15th year, OSCON has shown that open source software is the standard for everyday programming languages, databases, utilities, and operating systems. At OSCON 2013, we’ll celebrate the open source success story and the ongoing revolution.

The call for speakers is now open

Speaking at OSCON is a great way to share what you know with your peers, while getting projects, ideas, and your company in front of a savvy and connected audience. In 2013, there will be roughly 400 speakers at OSCON. Should you be one of them? If you have a new idea, a better way to do something, an interesting and instructive case study (battle scars optional), or the desire to pass on your hard-won knowledge, submit a proposal to lead conference sessions or tutorials. You don't need to be a guru or experienced speaker, it's enough to have something worthwhile to share and the desire to communicate it to others.

…OSCON is great fun. It's challenging to speak to an audience that's so diverse that it includes both the creator of the Linux kernel and students who just discovered it exists. It's humbling to know that the intelligence and achievement in the audience dwarfs anything I've ever done.
