Dear Reader,
In just a few weeks many of us will be basking in San Diego's perfect balance of sun and breeze at the Open Source Convention. But before we head to the far western corner of the States, I want you to know about a recent Web posting from our previous Emerging Technology Conference.
O'Reilly's Conferences group just published the presentation files from May's Etech Conference, which covers everything from Web services to peer-to-peer to things I've never even heard of. If you didn't have a chance to attend that show in Santa Clara, then you might want to ramble through the presentation files page at: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/18/presentations.html
And if you want to refresh your memory about the conference itself, our coverage page includes weblogs, feature articles, and lots of photos: http://www.oreillynet.com/et2002/
