Is this your first time at an OSCON? Would you like a bit of help figuriung out what to do and see, how to talk to the Big names, and so on?
Monday night, Jim Brandt and I will discuss all the things about conferences that aren’t in the conference guide. Many frequent conference goers use a host of tools to supplement their conference experience, and we will share these tools with beginners. We’ll talk about things like IRC, kwikis, SubEthaEdit, blogs, Open Source luminaries (talking to the pros), and BOFs.

For those of us who couldn't fork out the $$$ to go to the tutorials, could you post a transcript of your BOF? Blog, wiki, whatever?

There will be stuff on the OSCON Kwiki page "Conferences for Beginners" (http://oscon.kwiki.org/index.cgi?ConferencesForBeginners) . Jim and I are going to refine the talk and give it at other conferences.
