UTOSC 2009: Theme, Venue, Dates Announced
So we finally announced the theme, dates and venue for the Utah Open Source Conference 2009. Looks to be fun to see what people will think of it and the presentations that will result. The theme, Affordability, Scalability, Reliability seemed appropriate. I hope others will see the value in it as well.
