I was looking through the attendee list for the Open Source Business Conference yesterday, and it struck me that one group is missing: developers. We have an unprecedented number of IT executives joining us this year, and the usual assembly of open source executives, proprietary ISV executives attending to figure out this newfangled open source thing, venture capitalists, attorneys, etc.

But we’re missing developers. And that, I think, is highly unfortunate.

So, if you fit the bill, shoot me an email. I want you there. If you’re interested in attending, but can’t afford the entrance fee, ping me at masay@osbc.com. (This email address gets so much spam, I don’t mind posting it. 🙂 I’ll get you in.

Sorry for the late notice. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with other things, but I’d really like to have a strong developer voice at the show for Microsoft/Novell’s panel, as well as the others on community building, best practices for turning downloads into dollars (we need you there to keep the conversation honest), etc.
