The OSCON (Open Source Convention) conference will present over 200 sessions between July 20-24 in San Jose, Calif., covering a variety of desktop and embedded Linux topics. Meanwhile, SourceForge.net has opened voting for its 2009 Community Choice Awards, with winners to be announced at OSCON.
Like the more enterprise-focused OpenSource World (formerly LinuxWorld), which occurs several weeks later in San Francisco, OSCON discusses enterprise issues, with a special focus on the elephant in the room that no one can quite fully describe: the Cloud. OSCON, however, has a more alternative, techie, and community-driven flavor, and appears to cover more issues that appeal to a wider range of desktop and embedded Linux developers and enthusiasts.
