O'Reilly Open Source Convention
The O'Reilly Open Source Convention ( OSCON for short ) is one of the most popular conferences for developers of open source software. It is organized by O'Reilly Publishing and takes place annually on four consecutive working days in late July in Portland , Oregon .
history
The OSCON was originally founded by Tim O'Reilly as The Perl Conference (TPC) to offer Perl developers a direct encounter and intellectual exchange on a large scale and to present them the publications of his publisher. It was held in San Diego from 1997 and two years later became part of a larger conference on generally open source software. In 2003 the conference moved to Portland and in 2005 and 2006 a sister conference called EuroOSCON was held in Amsterdam and Brussels at the end of September .
