Read Tim O'Reilly's reasons why Open Source is Here to Stay.

The O'Reilly Perl Conference has been a mainstay of Perl culture since 1997, gathering the leaders and young guns of Perl in an unequalled meeting of minds. TPC, as it is known, is a place where all Perl programmers can learn and share in the fun and diversity that is Perl. TPC is collocated with the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, which means you have the choice of 14 technology tracks in one convention. Come meet the wizards, connect with old friends, and get in on the cutting edge of Perl programming techniques.
