LinuxCon Europe


Anyone going to LinuxCon Europe from 13 to 15 october in Dusseldorf ?

I will be there, and might be fun to meet fellow slackers.

That's an awful lot of money just to attend that venue and look at some old farts. I think I'll pass.

I enjoy going to the Australasian equivalent when I can - accommodation and flights can add to the costs.
However I find the extraneous benefits (as mentioned in the "Convince your boss") worthwhile. Being able to "button-hole" people and have a face-to-face is so much better than watching the stream (if there is one), or reading the proceedings. When I go, I make it my yearly holidays to help defray the impact on the wallet.

Is Patrick Volkerding going there? If so, I may visit LinuxCon to buy him a beer!

Cheers!
