OSBC 2012  opens May 21st

The annual Open Source Business Conference [OSBC] takes place May 21 – 22 at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, CA.
The 2 day conference of business leaders and legal experts on the Open Source spectrum has a new venue at the Hyatt, which may reflect reduced attendance.  However the event is relatively inexpensive at $895 for 2 days and includes keynote speakers from Red Hat, Rackspace, IBM, HP, and even Microsoft discussing their vision for Open Source.

Cisco Live and Virtual - June 10-14

Register now for the lowest pricing available to attend Cisco Live, June 10-14, 2012, in San Diego - not Las Vegas. Cisco Live is a hybrid physical and virtual conference, with most sessions on-line and free to virtual attendees. What's missing? Mostly the labs and extra technical classes, but also the jet lag, the crowds, bad food, and the swag.

During the early registration period, you can save up to $400 on physical attendance. Virtual attendance is free to those who pre-register with Cisco Live Virtual. And you can get a sample of the 'virtual' portion of the conference from 2011 by visiting:

SCALE 10X to host free SCALE Kids Conference in LA

SCALE 10X to host free SCALE Kids Conference in LA

RePost

For the first time in its ten year historyr, the Southern California Linux
Expo will host the SCALE Kids Conference, a free and open source event
where the community leaders of tomorrow will be able to spotlight
their talents and ideas.

The goal of the conference is to be as "kid-driven" as possible. The
event offers a unique opportunity for kids 10 to 16 to see and
experience the inner workings of planning, determine the content, and
help to steer the direction that the conference will take.

The SCALE Kids Conference will take place on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012
in parallel with the main SCALE 10X conference.

For those parents and kids interested in helping to plan the event,

join the scale-kids mailing list at the following URL.

https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scale-kids

SCALE 10X will be held from Jan. 20-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles
Airport Hotel. For more information on SCALE 10X, visit

Just got this email:

Dear Android developer,

Good news! A few discounted seats have opened up at AnDevCon II. A group of 11 attendees had signed up at a discounted rate of $1,295- and they can't make it. We are pleased to offer those 11 seats, first-come, first served. This is for the full four-day event (workshops and the three days of tech classes).

Currently, the normal rate for the remaining seats at AnDevCon II is $1,695. But we do have these 11 seats left at $1,295, which is a $400 savings. To grab one of those seats, be one of the first 11 registrants
