Date for OpenTech 09 announced

One of my first and favourite UK conferences, OpenTech have just announced the date for 2009 is going to be July 4th.

It’s got more of a beardy, open source, linux feel to it than DDD day does but that’s one of the things I like about it. The talks are always really interesting. One year they had a guy from the internet archive talking about trying to scale up when they were trying to take a rolling snapshot of the internet. Last time I went there was a really interesting talk by a guy called Ted Nelson (who’s came up with the term hypertext) who talked about human-computer communication.

It’s always interesting and thought provoking (and only costs £5) so pencil it in to your geek diaries and head over to the notification mailing list to get an email when registration opens. :)
