The Open Source Lab Sponsored By GitHub is going to be a great part of this year’s Dev Zone. Check out our schedule and be sure to join for hands on experience with great technologies.

Don’t forget: join the Chatter Group in the Dreamforce org.

Please note: The Open Source Lab is an intimate space and all sessions are first come, first served. The Lab will have hardwire Internet as well as power strips.  Bring your laptop, plan on diving in.

Location: The Open Source Lab is in Moscone West on the second floor, just around the corner from the partners and the Lightning Theater. Follow the signs and we’ll see you there!

Tips for all developers: come prepared.  You should have a clean developer org (or two).  You should have Eclipse and the Force.com IDE installed for many sessions.  Take advantage of your access to these companies by asking questions.

Important: space is limited.  If you are not coding along with the presenter and there are people waiting, please yield your seat, Internet connection and power. Have questions? Just ask. Twitter or Dreamforce App
