Conventional times
June 1, 2006It seems like Portland is becoming the place for interesting (and not drama-filled, yet) tech conventions. We’ve got WebVisions July 20-21 and OSCON July 24-28 that I know of. The former features a lot of big names in the blogospherorama, including the white males behind WordPress, Metafilter, Upcoming.org, and so much more. OSCON features the creators of Python, PHP, and Perl, who will triangle off in a caged deathmatch where only one scripting language will survive.
I’ve never been to any tech conference but would like to someday, hopefully either before student discount eligibility runs out or on my employer’s dime. With events like these happening in my backyard it would be a shame not to.
