Open Source Bridge

Open Source Bridge! It's an annual open source conference in Portland. Or as they say, a "conference for developers working with open source technologies and for people interested in learning the open source way."

History

Celebrating five years! Open Source Bridge was founded in 2009 by Audrey Eschright and Selena Deckelmann. The conference was started after OSCON, an open source conference started in 1999 by O'Reilly Media, moved from Portland to San Jose for the year.

Attendees

Sometimes birthdays happen at Open Source Bridge! Our own Melissa stands here beside the impromptu surprise cake and cupcakes, presented by her friends.
