[FM Discuss] O'Reilly and other conferences

[Andy Oram]

I actually don't know all our conferences. The Open Source convention is an obvious choice. The MySQL conference is popular and is also relevant because it's heavily oriented to open source. The main topics are databases, sysadmin, and scripting languages. As you know, Adam has attended TOC.

Emerging Technology might be relevant because the people there are interested in things that can change society in general.

I don't think we'd be interested in any of the Web conferences, which are either business-oriented or focused on corporate goals such as performance.

I wonder whether Andy has some ideas of which O'Reilly conferences we
should have a presence at. I see that the upcoming Web 2.0 conference
has a dot-org section, but I don't think we can put a booth together
in time. What else is on the calendar?
