Upcoming events, reports, and sightings

ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Event season is upon us! What events are you attending or organizing? Or did you decide to volunteer at an event this time around?
Celeste Lyn Paul presented at and posted a report about the recent Open Source Systems 2009.
And this week, our blogger Bruce Byfield is attending Open Web Vancouver, where Angie Byron will be among the many interesting speakers. If you'd like to save some $$ off registration to this event, the first 10 people to register with the code LinuxProMag get a 25% discount.
SouthEast LinuxFest is also this weekend, and openSUSE's Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier is giving the keynote.
Wait for it... There's even more this weekend! Writing Open Source is being held in Owen Sound. And really, who doesn't love good documentation?
USENIX '09 kicks off this Sunday in San Diego. Find out more about this well-respected annual tech event at: http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix09/tech/
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!
Don't forget: If you write an event report, let us know where to find it.
