OpenSourceWorld Report Jono Bacon reports on the co-located OpenSourceWorld, NGDC, and CloudWorld conferences.

Like many others, having been to previous LinuxWorlds, I was curious to see how this re-branding and grouping of events would pan out.

Meeting the President of Brazil at FISL 10 FISL 10.0 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, included a visit from a special guest.

FISL 10.0 in Porto Alegre, Brazil was the best yet, for many reasons. For a long time I have been impressed with how the FISL organizers (most, if not all of which are volunteers) have brought together government, industry and the community to put on an ever-larger and more complex event.

Book Review: Head First Web Design Curt Shontz cracks open O'Reilly's Head First Web Design
