OSCON

• How was it? Event reports?
• A bit smaller show floor, but tons of sessions.
• Ubuntu was everywhere.

ISV summary:

• Hyperic -- Jeremy Hogan is the community manager. He has paid somebody to build RPMs for hyperic. Potential future communication here in the Java Packaging front.
• JasperSoft -- Karsten and Jennifer Venable
• Concrete Five -- CMS that we'll help get into Fedora
• Ingres -- community version potentially forthcoming, lots of legacy stuff that makes it hard for them to become LSB compliance.
• Plain Black
• Sugar CRM -- couldn't find anyone technical at this show to talk to.
• Zimbra -- met Jon Robb, their VP of Marketing.
• OpenJDK
• Digium -- Mark Spencer and Todd (Community Manager)

Lead tracking is an internal CommArch concern that we need to address.
