According to <http://blogs.oreilly.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=57&search=lovelace> Tim O'Reilly started the company in 1985, and moved to CA in 1987. > > It seems that for the last decade or so they've done everything in > California. I'm guessing that O'Reilly was a very different company ten years ago. In articles like <http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/02/state-of-the-computer-book-mar-17.html> people describe the tech book market collapsing in 2001 (falling 20% a year for three straight years.) I can't find the exact article now, but I've seen them describe that time period as a time for reinvention. Since OSCON has always been in CA I assume it will always stay there (although the keep moving it a bit, Montery, San Diego, etc.) _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
