<p>We have tons of Open Source stuff in this town… from <span class="caps">OSCON</span>… <a href="http://osuosl.org/"><span class="caps">OSL</span></a> to <a href="http://osdl.org"><span class="caps">OSDL</span></a> (where Linus himself works)... to tons of <a href="http://www.pdxlug.org">local</a> <a href="http://www.pdxlinux.org">user</a> <a href="http://www.pdxruby.org">groups</a>. Starting a business in Portland, Oregon that focuses on Open Source technology is so common place that it’d be nuts to even attempt to list all the companies that I am aware of.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetargon.com"><span class="caps">PLANET ARGON</span></a> was started in Portland, Oregon and as we are slowly moving our way into other regions of the country with some of our extended developers, we are so excited to be part of the Portland scene.</p>
<p>We’re looking forward to meeting so many of you next summer at <span class="caps">OSCON 2006</span>!</p>
<p>If you’re a reader of this blog and in the Portland area… leave me a comment!</p>
<p>I wonder how many readers are located in the Portland area. :-)</p>
