Open Source Is Open for Business
If you would like to view this information in your browser, click here: http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z69i85u2vbej41cim13k8omlqrnbb56230usoba0
Dear Reader,
The common thread running through our conference offerings this year has been finding ways to make the most of limited resources--money, time, people--in a tough economy.
July is when that theme of making do with what we've got really blossoms, in the form of OSCON, our annual Open Source Convention. OSCON is about the practice of developing software free from commercial constraints and, through that goal, has fostered a rich community, too. Knowing that we're not alone and taking steps to expand our network, even if business is slow, is important in helping us through the tough times. For more on this, read an interview with Canonical's Jono Bacon on the "Value of Good Communities."
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zn4sm3o02mlkvetb9tq6u6of0ku0fnd88ae17cho
Our second edition of Velocity, our web performance and operations conference, was another successful example of people coming together to share practical ideas and knowledge to increase the value of our work on the Web.

If you're passionate about the way Web 2.0 technologies are shaping government, consider attending Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase.

The early registration discount ends July 21, so sign up soon. More details are below, including a code that can save you an additional 15%.
Finally, we all know that Web 2.0 is a term that's maturing. What technology markers point the way to the Web's evolution? Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle address this in a thought-provoking white paper, "Web Squared," the theme for this year's Web 2.0 Summit. Read their take on where the Web is going, watch the webcast, and join the conversation about the future of the Web:

Web 2.0 Summit
October 20-22 in San Francisco, CA
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z90ojh0jgp5okcpbjm0mugonjglkelkohhsnuk6o
Ever since we first introduced the term "Web 2.0," people have been asking, "What's next?" Assuming that Web 2.0 was meant to be a kind of software version number (rather than a statement about the second coming of the Web after the dotcom bust), we're constantly asked about "Web 3.0." Is it the semantic web? The sentient web? Is it the social web? The mobile web? Is it some form of virtual reality?
It is all of those, and more. Web plus World equals Web Squared, our theme for this year's edition of Web 2.0 Summit and our way of exploring this phenomenon.
Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle presented a webcast and have authored a white paper on Web Squared--we invite you to read it and join the conversation about the future of the Web:
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zmf64onulclqk7uqi767f8hi8numf4r8hmrb6vn8

-Tim Armstrong (Chairman & Chief Executive Officer: AOL)
-Carol Bartz (CEO: Yahoo!)
-Tim Berners-Lee (Director: W3C)
-Sheryl Sandberg (COO: Facebook)
-Mark Cuban (HDNet, Landmark Theaters, Magnolia Pictures, Dallas Mavericks, FilesAnywhere, Radical Buy)
-Jeff Immelt (Chairman and CEO: GE)
-Qi Lu (President: Microsoft Online Services Division)
-Lowell McAdam (President & CEO: Verizon Wireless)
-Mary McDowell (Executive Vice President, Chief Development Officer: Nokia)
-Jon Miller (Chairman and CEO, Digital Media Group: News Corporation)
-Paul Otellini (President and CEO: Intel Corporation)
-Brian Roberts (Chairman and CEO: Comcast Corporation)
-Shane Robison (Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer: HP)
-Arthur Sulzberger (Chairman: The New York Times Company)
-Van Toffler (President: MTV Networks)

...and many more to be announced in the very near future.
