"Speaking at conferences like linux.conf.au and OSCON is great fun. It's challenging to speak to an audience that's so diverse that it includes both the creator of the Linux kernel and students who just discovered it exists. It's humbling to know that the intelligence and achievement in the audience dwarfs anything I've ever done." —Simon Phipps, Sun

"OSCON [2008] was everything I'd hoped it would be and then some." —Serdar Yegulalp, InformationWeek

"I've recently been appointed to the board of the United States PostgreSQL Association (postgresql.us); I could never have gotten this without the connections I've made at OSCON over the years."—Michael Alan Brewer, University of Georgia

"...the annual Woodstock (or perhaps Coachella) of the open source crowd." —Zack Urlocker, Infoworld
