GOSCON 2005

GOSCON 2005 was held in Portland, Oregon on October 13-14 and was declared a success by all who attended. Online registration sold out the week of the conference, and the opening keynote was standing-room-only. The 2005 conference archival site now includes presentations from the speakers and presenters under the "2005 Presentations" tab.

Comments from one of our 2005 speakers:

" I've never been to a conference that had a better mix of people with expertise in the issues the Commonwealth's Information Technology Division faces. My time in Oregon was well spent networking with a large number of experienced OS advocates from the private and public sector who had much to contribute to the dialogue about how to implement OS in state government.

The conference itself was well organized and tailored to the topics of most interest to public sector technologists who are trying to find their place in the OS world. I had a terrific time and came home energized to share with our OS team what I had learned from conference attendees. And what a great advertisement for your beautiful city and state, and the quality of your state's IT workforce! Thank you for inviting me to participate in this excellent event."

--Linda Hamel, Commonwealth of Massachusetts IT Division
