Community Leadership Summit: Days Away in San Jose

As Kristin covered in April, the upcoming OSCON conference will be immediately preceded by an unconference called the Community Leadership Summit, to take place July 18th and 19th in San Jose, California. The event is free for anyone to attend, although if you're planning to attend you should pre-register. There are some scheduled presentations, panel discussions, and social gatherings planned, but much of the event will consist of free-form discussion on what it takes to build a thriving, productive community around an open source project. More details are emerging on the participants, and it looks like a solid event.


OSCON Conference Coming Up, Speakers Scheduled

The OSCON (Open Source Convention) conference is quickly approaching, to be held July 20th through 24th in San Jose, California. The schedule and roster of speakers is becoming finalized, and looks to be very interesting this year. Keynote speakers include Google Open Source Program Manager Chris DiBona, and Intel's Imad Sousou. In addition to the sructured, scheduled events at this year's OSCON, there will be an unstructured Unconference. This is an on-the-fly program created by OSCON participants. Here are more details.


Will Open Source Conferences Go the Way of BrainShare?

GigaOm did an interesting piece on Wednesday called The End of MacWorld, addressing the fact that Apple is pulling out of the Macworld trade show after January, and Steve Jobs won't do a keynote address there. The piece includes some good analysis of how rapidly technology is undermining the status quo at trade shows and conferences. Then, just yesterday, Novell announced that it is cancelling BrainShare after 20 years. Will this erosion of high-profile gatherings extend to the major open source conferences?
