Next week has two excellent tech conferences going on and I'll be splitting my time between both as well as trying to get my normal job done. I'll be at Oscon in Portland Monday and Tuesday and then at the AlwaysOn Network conference at Stanford Wednesday and Thursday. It's a shame the events aren't spread out further. We have quite a few developers heading to Oscon including folks from engineering as well as our Community team. And we'll have a few of the business folks at AlwaysOn.
Matt Asay, chief business dude over at Alfresco has organized an executive briefing day known as O'Reilly Radar at Oscon which will be held on Tuesday July 25. Matt created the OSBC Conference which has been a great venue focusing on the business side of open source. Now with the executive briefing day, I think it will be the perfect blend of business and technology. If you've felt like OSCON was too geeky and LinuxWorld too much of a vendor fest, then this may be the right event for you.
Both conferences should have plenty of open source, Web 2.0 content as well as lots of MySQL users in attendance.
Update:
We'll be having a reception Tuesday evening at Oscon at the DoubleTree hotel, Cantina restaurant from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm. There will be beer, t-shirts, books, and many prominent MySQL developers in attendance.
