applications WHAT: Will be the featured presenter in 2 sessions as well as the

exhibit hall at this month's O'Reilly Open Source (OSCON 2006)

Convention, taking place at the Oregon Convention Center. On the conference's opening day, Wednesday, July 26th, Laszlo

Systems' Chief Software Architect, Adam Wolff, will offer an

overview of the OpenLaszlo platform during "Case in Point:

OpenLaszlo and Open Source." His presentation will feature

insights into community adoption and contribution, the basics of

getting started, and case studies that depict how leading

companies are using and benefiting from OpenLaszlo. On Thursday, July 27th, Laszlo Systems' Founder and CTO, David

of Flash or DHTML. During his presentation, Temkin will

demonstrate how OpenLaszlo 4.0 enables developers to create DHTML

or Flash applications from a single source code base. The session

will also include a lively discussion of the pros and cons of each

runtime environment and how Laszlo Systems has bridged the two

with a single XML language and framework. WHEN: OSCON 2006 will be held from Monday, July 24, 2006 through Friday,

The O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) is where early adopters, coders, expert users, system administrators, entrepreneurs, and business people working in free and open source software gather to share ideas, discover code, and find solutions. The 2006 OSCON Conference will examine how being open influences and informs business, filling in the knowledge gap about what's possible with open source - and how to get it done.

Among the topics to be covered are: project best practices, Microsoft Windows-based open source projects, enterprise Java techniques, Linux kernel skills for system administrators, multimedia, including voice and video, AI including classification, clustering, and data mining, collaboration, and device hacking.
