ClarionMag is at OSCON 2008

Next week I'll be in Portland Oregon for OSCON 2008, O'Reilly's open source conference which typically draws around 2500 developers.

You may be wondering what I'm doing at an open source conference, given that Clarion is a closed source platform. In fact many Clarion developers use open source tools, particularly databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebird. Quite a few Clarion developers also use open source web tools such as PHP. And while open source isn't quite as common in the Windows world as it is among Linux users, it's gaining ground.

At OSCON I'll be paying particular attention to the database and web tracks but I'll be reporting on anything I think is of interest to ClarionMag readers. Stay tuned!
