Through great blessings and a wonderfully understanding family, I find myself once again in Portland for the O’Reilly Open Source Convention. It’s just such an honor to participate in such a cutting edge conference.

I’ve posted the results of my first day over on the O’Reilly Broadcast blog. I’ve also uploaded a new set of photos from the OSCON Cloud Summit over on Flickr.

Overall, it was great to see some old friends and in general be in the company of a lot of really smart hackers. Today, the conference officially kicks off with Tim O’Reilly’s keynote speech, which is always intriguing to witness. Then it’s into the maul of the beast with hundreds of sessions anf the always jam packed exhibit hall. Sounds like a great day ahead of me.
