  Open Source Bridge is a conference for developers working with open source technologies and for people interested in learning the open source way. Open Source Bridge is not a typical technical conference It’s entirely volunteer-run, by developers, for developers. Session tracks are technology agnostic; the conference content is based around shared community experiences and similarities between projects, not differences. Proposals are public from the start, and we welcome community comments before our content team selects the featured talks. A 24-hour hacker lounge is an integral part of the conference for code sprints, bug bashes, session deep dives, bouncing ideas, starting new projects or just mingling with other geeks. As developers, we find ourselves in many roles; we are users, creators, and leaders. The Open Source Bridge team believes that our role as open source citizens informs our work whether we are conscious of it or not. Open Source Bridge is intended as a call to action to become better citizens, by sharing our knowledge with each other. Open Source Bridge will take place June 21-24, 2011 in Portland, OR, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languages, and backgrounds to explore how we do our work and share why we participate in open source. The conference structure is designed to provide developers with an opportunity to learn from people they might not connect with at other events. Ticket Details There is no difference among ticket price levels other than the amount of money. All of Open Source Bridge is open to every attendee regardless of how much they paid for their ticket. The reason we offer tickets of differing price level is to accommodate attendees with fewer means, while still covering our basic costs. The advantage of purchasing a higher priced ticket is that you leave available a less expensive ticket for someone else. We encourage you to purchase the most expensive ticket you are able to.
