Open Source Developers' Conference

Started in Melbourne, Australia in 2004, the Open Source Developers' Conferences are conferences designed by open source developers, for developers and business people. It covers numerous programming languages across a range of operating systems, and related topics such as business processes, licensing, and strategy. Talks vary from introductory pieces through to the deeply technical.

Since then, we have seen conferences held in Israel and Taiwan. Australia's conference, having been held in Melbourne for the first 3 years, is now mobile, being held in Brisbane in 2007.

Past keynote speakers have included Larry Wall, Dr Damian Conway, Audrey Tang (Perl Gurus), Anthony Baxter (Python release manager), Luke Welling and Jon Oxer (PHP gurus), Nathan Torkington (O'Reilly), Scott Penrose (Zaltana.org) and Richard Farnsworth (Australian Synchrotron).
