> Hi Jon,
>
> As you may have heard, Open Source Bridge, Portland's own conference  
> for open source citizens, is back for a second year. It will run  
> June 1–4, 2010 at the Portland Art Museum. We’re aiming to  
> connect people across projects, languages and experience and would l 
> ove to have members of the Portland Java community involved as speak 
> ers and participants. Details about the conference are included below.
>
> Bridge isn’t a typical conference. It’s entirely volunteer-run,  
> by developers, for developers. Session tracks are technology agnosti 
> c, based instead around shared community experiences and focused on  
> similarities between projects, not differences. Plus, we’ll be runni 
> ng a 24-hour hacker lounge on site for code sprints, bug bashes, bou 
> ncing ideas, starting new projects and generally socializing around  
> code.
>
> We’d be delighted if you could mention Open Source Bridge at your us 
> er group meetings, post this email to your mailing list, and get us  
> in touch with other groups in your community interested in participa 
> ting.
>
> Our call for proposals runs through March 25th, which is fast  
> approaching, so please pass this information on as soon as possible.
>
> We don’t expect something for nothing, so we’re giving all of  
> your user group members a discounted registration rate of $200. That 
> ’s $25 off the Early Bird rate, and $100 off our regular registratio 
> n. User groups are very important to us and our organizers are heavi 
> ly involved in the local tech community.
>
> We’re also offering a free conference pass for you to give away to a 
>  member of your group. If you’re interested in more ways to promote  
> the conference, let us know!

> Thank You!

> Open Source Bridge is a conference for developers working with open  
> source technologies. It will take place June 1–4, 2010, in Portland, 
>  Oregon, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languag 
> es and experience to explore how we do our work and why we participa 
> te in open source. The conference structure is designed to provide d 
> evelopers with an opportunity to learn from people they might not co 
> nnect with at other events. Attendees will learn and interact at thr 
> ee days of traditional conference presentations, a day of free-form  
> unconference sessions, and our 24-hour Hacker Lounge.
>
> This year we are thrilled to have an excellent downtown location at  
> the Portland Art Museum ( http://pam.org/ ), an extra day packed  
> full of open source goodness, and an on-site 24-hour Hacker Lounge!  
> As a user group member, you can use the coupon code "osbugluv" to  
> register for only $200 when you select either an Early Bird  
> Registration (through April 1st), or a Regular Registration (after  
> April 1st). Learn more and register today at http://opensourcebridge.org/attend/
>
> The conference is run entirely by volunteers who believe in the need  
> for an open source event that focuses on the culture of being an  
> open source citizen, regardless of where in the stack you choose to  
> code. All proceeds from conference registration and sponsorship go  
> directly to the costs of the conference.
>
> Our event shares in-depth knowledge about using, creating and  
> contributing to open source as citizens of a greater community. You’ 
> ll find relevant information whether you write web apps for the clou 
> d, tinker with operating system internals, create hardware, run a st 
> artup, or blog about technology.
>
> We're still seeking proposals — and we've just extended the deadline 
>  through March 25th — so submit yours before time runs out at http://opensourcebridge.org/proposal

>
> Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the  
> conference, see our session proposals, and register to attend.
