In a couple of weeks, one of the premier open source events of the summer kicks off, OSCON 2007.
First comment. If you haven't been to an OSCON, do yourself a favor and get there. It's definitely a great chance to soak up the open source passion, vitality and meet the movers of this concept.
Second comment. There are so many good sessions at OSCON, you'll want to clone yourself. (which reminds me of trying to schedule the old SGI developer conferences so everyone could attend the sessions they wanted to. Impossible task unless the conference is single tracked).
Adobe is a panelist on one of those insanely cool sessions:
RIA Platforms and Open Source
Nathan Torkington, Conference Chair, O'Reilly Media, Inc.
Nandini Ramani, Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group, Sun Microsystems
James Ward, Technical Evangelist, Adobe Systems
Track: Web Applications (client-side and server-side)
Date: Thursday, July 26
Time: 1:45pm - 3:20pm
Location: Portland 252
Sun, Microsoft, and Adobe have unveiled Rich Internet Application platforms with a mixture of web and desktop technologies. Each has some open source component or approach. The three vendors will demo their wares, then we'll sit down with a panel discussion (with lots of your questions) to figure out how they see open source and whether any of their work is useful to the open source community.
I'll be there, in the audience and around the place on Thursday as well. If you'd like to chat about anything open at adobe, or otherwise, drop me an email.
And don't forget :
