OSCON (O’Reilly Open Source Convention) is a yearly event on all things Open Source, bringing together developers, innovators, businesspeople, and investors.

Information-packed, the event was a great opportunity to attend interesting keynotes and sessions on topics ranging from Javascript & HTML5, emerging languages, and mobile platforms to cloud computing, community management, and business. OSCON was also an opportunity for us to gain more exposure and meet new people from diverse backgrounds.

"This was our first time at OSCON, but certainly not our last. It was inspiring to learn firsthand about the tech and business of open source from some of the industry’s greatest experts," said Lum Osmani, af83’s Marketing Manager. "We had a great time meeting and engaging with new friends. There’s only one thing we take issue with: the conference’s location. Portland is a tad bit far from Paris."
