What is OSCON?

OSCON (Open Source Conference) refers to a conference that began in 1999 and is still going strong. Topics covered literally cover the entirety of open source programming technologies from languages to best practices and services. It's also a place for people to meet and discuss current and growing trends in open source. You never know who you might meet and what kind of networking opportunities you might have.
