About 2 months ago, I wrote that I was heading to Portland for the O'Reilly Open Source Conference. It turns out that O'Reilly is also hosting another conference about Ubuntu, a very popular Linux distro.
When I signed up for OSCON, I elected to go to the tutorials, which consists for 4 tutorials spanned across 2 days. Well, 2 of the 4 tutorials I signed up for were canceled. Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed out. But O'Reilly was nice enough to get me into the Ubuntu Live Sunday, July 22nd, 2007.
