At the beginning of October, I will be attending the Grace Hopper Celebration for the first time. Last year I made it to the Saturday Open Source Day but I had work conflicts and was very sorry I missed the main conference and its Security Track. This year has a lot of Big Data topics.
I almost forgot that the Open Source Day requires a separate registration but I made it in time to help out with the OpenStack project.
