What is OSCON, and how does it relate to Tcl?

OSCON stands for Open Source Conference [L1 ], 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. See http://conferences.oreilly.com/archive.html (or ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/conference/os2001/ ) for pointers to presentations and papers presented at this conference.

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 too near in time to the regular conference in Austin, so less people went.
