Sorry dear readers, but I was on holidays for the past two weeks. Not to say nothing has been happening around here, but I'm looking forward to my next trip already--Portland! Only 1 week away!

Yes, for OSCON. The ActiveState team is excited to be a part of OSCON in Portland again this year as a Silver Sponsor. We'll have our latest releases on hand, including:

• Komodo IDE: Your IDE for dynamic web development
• Perl Dev Kit: Create and deploy professional Perl applications
• ActivePerl ProStudio: The complete bundle for professional Perl programmers
• Tcl Dev Kit: Create and deploy professional Tcl applications

+ plus the world's most trusted open source language distributions—ActivePerl, ActivePython, and ActiveTcl—of course!

We're at booth 218 in the jam-packed Expo hall, where we'll have Komodo IDE 4 and PDK 7 demos, great conversation, swag and prizes! (If you want to work for ActiveState, drop by and introduce yourself. We're always looking for smart people to join our company.)

Win Great Gear!
Come by the booth and enter our draw to win one of three ActiveState OSCON prize packs, with your choice of a Komodo IDE 4, Perl Dev Kit 7, or Tcl Dev Kit 4 license. And we're part of the O'Reilly Passport Program too, so get your ActiveState stamp at our booth to be entered into their daily raffle.

See you in Portland!

(And since we're talking about Open Source, there's a bit of a furor going on locally: check out "Can "Open Source" be closed and "Community" be private?")
