Next week, I'll be attending Open Source Bridge in Portland. This affordable event is jam-packed with a variety of sessions, and be sure to swing by the Linux Pro table and pick up a copy of the magazine.
Check out our event calendar for other upcoming events, and hopefully we'll see you in person soon!
