From an IBM source, an upcoming Open Source conference in NYC is sponsored by IBM developerWoks (which kicks arse), Software Magazine and Open Avenue.

Attend a Free Collaborative Development Seminar on Nov. 15 in New York 
 
You've probably heard a lot about open-source software, and your 
organization may already be using products like Linux, Apache, or Perl that 
are developed using an open-source process. The Open Source model for 
software development has demonstrated that geographically dispersed 
developers can successfully collaborate via the Web on large-scale 
development projects, even though they rarely meet in person or even talk 
on the phone. 
 
But how does the Open Source model work outside the community of expert 
"hackers"? What are its implications for vendors of proprietary technology? 
For application development professionals within commercial IT shops? And 
will it work for your organization? 
 
- Find out why leading technology vendors are open sourcing key 
technologies, and how to put the power of community development to work for 
you 
- Discover how commercial development organizations and IT consultants can 
successfully leverage the concepts and practices of the Open Source model 
to collaborate via the Web 
- Learn how an emerging new Open Model -based on the early success of Open 
Source Software will change the way applications get built, for the better!
