Could open source have built Silicon Valley?
,----[ Quote ]
| In Silicon Valley, innovation is the fertilizer that makes the crops grow.
| With open source, software is more like topsoil, and those who nurture that
| soil believe they will prosper longer than those who just throw fertilizer on
| it.
|
| Invention is the plant corporations harvest for their profit. Software is the
| environment on which everyone’s survival depends.
|
| OSCON, I think, is better off in Portland.

Open source conference likely back in Portland next year
,----[ Quote ]
| Organizers of a major open source technology conference said today there's
| a "good chance" they'll return the event to Portland next summer following
| one year in San Jose.
|
| The weeklong O'Reilly Open Source Convention spent six years in Portland
| before moving to California for the 2009 event, which wrapped up this
| afternoon. At the convention's closing address, in response to a question,
| organizers told attendees they would probably move the event back to Portland
| in 2010.

OSCON: Building Belonging (in communities)
,----[ Quote ]
| Jono suggests that "Stories are vessels of best practice." Whenever a
| community shares a story, it usually has a message attached to it--an
| anecdote that usually comes to some concrete point. Stories give community
| members a sense of purpose and belonging; he encourages people to tell
| stories in their communities.

OSCON so far
,----[ Quote ]
| OSCON has a major problem: There’s way too much to do! So far, this week has
| been chock full of excitement.
|
| Though not part of the “official” OSCON program, the Community Leadership
| Summit started on Saturday. Lots of people from OSCON were in attendance, but
| also a fair number of people from communities that have nothing to do with
| open source. This was a pretty good mix. A few hundred people showed up
| Saturday morning, and a smaller crowed turned up Sunday.
