Oregon, and more specifically Portland, is one of the world's leading hubs of open source activity. In a series of 'lightning talks,' a variety of individuals based in Oregon will present information about local open source initiatives, ranging from open source projects to business activity and startups to non-profit efforts. The purpose of this session is to provide a snapshot of open source activity in Oregon to the attendees.
