Here are a few upcoming open source conferences worth paying attention to:

SugarCRM Developers Conference, Feb 6-8, San Jose, CA

PHP Quebec, March 12-14, Montreal, Canada

EclipseCon, March 17-20, Santa Clara, CA

– OSBC, March 25-26, San Francisco, CA

– ApacheCon Europe, April 7-11, Amsterdam, NL

MySQL Conference & Expo, April 14-17, Santa Clara, CA

We’ll have MySQLers at most if not all of these events. If you’re thinking of hitting your boss up for a conference registration and travel, look for the early registration deadlines. You can easily save a few hundred bucks by registering early.

They’re all good, depending on what you’re looking for. OSBC is the best business focused open source conference, but keep in mind managers (and lawyers) outnumber developers. If you’re looking for hardcore developer info, PHP Quebec, ApacheCon or the MySQL Conference are great. And for those looking for more specialized info, SugarCon and EclipseCon are good choices.

Ok, and what have I missed from around the world?
