Palmetto Open Source Software Conference (POSSCON)
THANKS to everyone for attending the 1st Annual Palmetto Open Source Software Conference held July 30 at Amoco Hall! The event was a tremendous success and we've already started planning for POSSCON 2009.
We will continue to post Open Source news on the website, so please check back often when time permits. As POSSCON founder Verbus Counts said, this is a topic that is too important not to have a collective conversation around.
