Open Source All-Star Lineup on February 11

Give up a Saturday in February (Who wants to ski anyway?) and you can listen to some of the luminaries of the open source world in one handy spot. The MIT Enterprise Forum's Winter Conference, which typically attracts 400 people, will focus this year on the risks and rewards of open source technology. The event will be held on February 11 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Burlington Marriott. Enterprise Forum members can attend for just $95.00; non-members for $130.00. (Note: Early bird rates.)
