I know this isn’t in the direction of my usual Android stuff, but I really want to spread the word about a local conference that is doing some great things in my area with respect to open source!
POSSCON is a conference all about open source technologies. They discuss how business are implementing and taking advantage of open source solutions, how you and your business can benefit from open source software, why and how to become part of the open source community and much much more. There are tracks for developers (technical), businessmen, educators, and much more. Some topics covered include:
- Cloud Computing
- Virtualization
- Big data and Hadoop
- Databases – Row vs Column vs NoSQL
- MySQL for Linux administrators
- Best Practices for open source adoption
- Secure cloud hosting
- The open source project lifecycle
- Boost libraries training
- C++ 11
- Open source email
- FreeNAS 8
- Open source licenses
- Open source eLearning
- Open source GIS
- Open systems in eCommerce
Interested? Good. Registration for the conference just opened yesterday (Dec. 15th) and continues until seating sells out (there are limited seats). The event takes place on March 28th and 29th in downtown Columbia. Yours truly will be there (just look for the guy talking about Android).
Check out POSSCON’s conference site for more details.
