The LinuxWorld Conference and Expo is coming to San Francisco's Moscone's Center on August 4-7, 2008, and you could register for many free community sessions (on Moblin.org, PostgreSQL, OpenSUSE), Ubucon, and get a free pass to the Exhibit Hall.
Of course, you could also register for the full conference ($400-1500), featuring over 100 top-tier, educational sessions covering seven tracks that go deep into Linux and open source industry trends.

Sun's open-source community conference, CommunityOne 2008, is now open for free registration!
This one-day event, happening on May 5th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, conveniently prequels Sun's flag-ship conference, JavaOne 2008, which runs from May 6th to 9th at the same location.
While the JavaOne conference is very structured and is meant to serve the entire Java community, CommunityOne 2008 on the other hand is driven (or at least defined) by the open-source community itself. Attendees are encouraged to come and discuss their own projects or open-source efforts, though Sun does invite speakers to talk about some of the more specific topics, including: Projects and Strategy, Operating Systems, Web Servers and Databases, Scripting Languages: Content Authoring and RIAs, Tools and Integrated Development Environments, Next Generation Web Applications, Web Scale Computing, and Chip Multithreading (CMT).
While the registration is free, space is limited. There is only room for 2,500 attendees, so register sooner rather than later!
We are kicking off the San Francisco Agile Software Meetup. Someone had to do it and after searching for an appropriate group, we decided to do it ourselves.
The first event will be on Tuesday January 29th at Marakana San Francisco Center, 1081 Mississippi Street, San Francisco, CA 94107. Event starts at 6:30. Come and join us!
After much delay, I decided to start The San Francisco Java Meetup group. Granted, this meetup existed in the past, but never really caught on. I guess the chemistry wasn't there, but the Java community is not only strong, it is growing! I feel that there are enough people in the Bay Area who are eager to meet other like-minded Java professionals and exchange ideas on hip'n'cool Java technologies.
To get things started, I will give a short talk on TestNG at the first Java meetup event on February 11th 2008 in San Francisco. I hope to see you there!
