Two Full Days of Tutorials (Monday and Tuesday)
These three-hour presentations provide a forum for collaborative learning
and exploratory participation, as well as a first-hand opportunity to
master the power of open source software. See the complete schedule of
tutorials at http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/58/tutorials.html

O'Reilly Radar Executive Briefing (Tuesday)
Led by Tim O'Reilly and the Radar team, this all-day event focuses on the
business of open source software and related technologies from the
viewpoint of the industry innovators and entrepreneurs who are changing
our thinking right now. Intimate by design, the Executive Briefing is
more about conversation than formal presentation, giving you the chance to
meet these passionate, smart, wildly innovative people, who will share their
ideas and experiences. You'll come away from the day inspired, energized
and ready to apply what you've absorbed to your own business.

Experts, visionaries, open source professionals, sys admins, developers,
and hackers in the trenches will meet and mingle in OSCON's hallways,
Expo Hall (filled with sponsors like Autodesk, Novell, Google, Intel,
New York
Times, Sun, Microsoft, Optaros, IBM, and Ingres), and fun evening events.

As Matt Asay of Infoworld remarked at last year's conference, there's "no
better place on this earth to find out how to use all the cool new open
source projects, and to see what's coming next."
