Conference Update

The conference is very lucky to have added David Brussin, of Turntide. He is a great addition to the management track, with a strong commitment to helping startups take advantage of open source in their IT environments. Check out his blog at whatcomesnext.brussin.com.

If you haven't been to the site lately, check out the new abstracts. We have a few more spots that will be filled in the next week.

Also, read Anthony Gold's blog about the conference anthonygold.blogspot.com.
I really appreciate the comment posted. With a thriving user group and development community, Philadelphia needs to showcase our knowledge.

Registrations opened, speakers added

Registration for our event has opened. Just a reminder we only can fit 300 people per day due to room size, so we are limited in the number of attendees.

We have added Steve Vinoski of IONA and Ross Altman of Sun (ex-CIO of See Beyond). There will be another Ruby on Rails talk as well. If you check out the schedule, you will be able to see the session plans. More should be up as the speakers are handing in their talks to us on a daily basis.

If you have any ideas for sessions, please contact me at twr@chariotsolutions.com.

Also, if you are staying for both days, don't forget we have a block of rooms saved at the Sheraton with a conference rate of $169 a night. We are talking to some of the area restaurants for discounts for our attendees.
