POSSCON 2012

2012 was a banner year for POSSCON:
600 people participated from 20+ states
More than 20 colleges and universities were represented. Just a few included Duke, University of South Carolina, Clemson University, Georgia Tech, College of Charleston, UNC Charlotte, and many more.
The world’s top companies attended. Among them were Red Hat, Twitter, Rackspace, Google, IBM, Pay Pal, EMC, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, GitHub, Engine Yard, Verizon, Firehost, SUSE, and many others.
Scott McNealy keynoted. He observed no leader of the open source movement has emerged since Sun and challenged one to do so.
Larry Augustin told an amazing story. As a member of the group who coined the term ‘open source’, a board member, angle investor, CEO and founder of some of the most well known companies in the industry, he offered a truly unique perspective.
Sparkfun Electronics demonstrated the Arduino. Open hardware is a quickly evolving field and Sparkfun showed why. Their booth was swarmed the entire conference.
