Hello All,
I'm one of the volunteer user group organizers for Open Source Bridge [http://opensourcebridge.org], the all-volunteer developers' conference being held in Portland this summer from June 17-19. I wanted to let everyone know there's an open call for presentations. Registration is open as well.
We have one free ticket to distribute to the Portland Drupal UG. There's also a discount code for registration: osb4228.
Please reply to this post if you're interested in the free pass, and I'll randomly select someone from the group
It's going to be an incredible conference. A few highlights:
Brian Aker about Drizzle (a reboot of MySQL designed “for the cloud”), Greg K-H about Linux (Linux Kernel hacker, talking about how Linux manages development), Amber Case about Cyborg Citizenship (anthropology, living in both the physical and virtual worlds), Ward Cunningham (inventor of the wiki) about what’s next in collaboration.
Thanks,
Thomas

Sure, I'm interested. I'm bummed that OSCON is no longer in Portland and now that I live here, I'd love to attend a Portland tech conference and it sounds like Open Source Bridge will be the first that comes down the pike.
Hacker's Lounge
Adam D., one of the organizers felt the hackers lounge would be of particular interest to the group.
