What is OSCON, and how does it relate to Tcl? '''OSCON''' stands for '''O'''pen '''S'''ource '''Con'''ference [http://conferences.oreillynet.com/], and they are hosted by the well-known publisher [O'Reilly] & Associates. In the year 2001, OSCON sported a [Tcl] track. This was dubbed the [Eighth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference] and held on July 23-27 in San Diego, California. Before OSCON / O'Reilly, [Tcl conferences] were held by [Usenix], and the last one under its aegide was the [Seventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference] held on Feb 14-18 2000 in Austin, Texas. Now, in 2002, the Tcl community is going its own way again, with a conference sponsered by [ActiveState] (see the [Ninth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference]), to be held on September 16-20 2002 in Vancouver, Canada. ---- I seem to recall there was a Tcl track in 2000 as well - just not well attended. [AK] My recollection is that it was to near too the regular conference in Austin, so less people went. ---- [Category Community]
