On the Road Again

I’m on the road again starting this afternoon and I won’t be back in lovely Corvallis until the 4th of June.

I’m off to GUADEC to be on a panel about “Creating Jobs: Open Source & Economic Development”. This should be a really fun conference and a chance to put some names to IRC nicks. It’s not often that I get over to Europe and so I’m hoping to make the best of it.

I’ll also be attending OVP’s Annual Meeting on the 2nd and 3rd of June. OVP has taken an interest in open source and has recently finished a survey (see mid-way down the page) of Oregon and are helping to build a cluster around open source here. Open Source is just now taking off and the epi-center is clearly here in Oregon. To me, it’s a matter of execution now.

I’ll be giving daily updates as well as hopefully some pictures along the way right here at my blog. Going on the road like this is a necessary thing but it’s just so hard to leave Corvallis when the great weather hits (and my garden isn’t in yet) …
