Registration opened last week for the Palmetto Open Source Software Conference (POSSCON,) the premier free and open source software confence in Columbia, South Carolina. It's a great way to both educate and involve yourself, or your organization, in free and open software and technology.

This years event has a great cast of speakers both national and local. Many Charleston 'techies' and companies will be in attendance and speaking. 

Registration (depending on the number of days and events) runs from $39 to $85.
