The $1400.00 or so to register is a bit of an impediment.
Indeed! I know there are people that volunteered for talks on the basis that speakers have fees waived.
I went to OSCON in Portland a couple times with that as a pretty express part of the formula.
I'll be there. I'm giving a talk, "A Journeyman's Tour of Vim" ( http://sched.co/7JWz ) that will be very similar to the one I gave at TLUG a few months ago. Giving a talk has two significant benefits: I get in to an expensive conference I wanted to attend for free, and I get to say I've presented at North America's biggest Linux conference. I hope you'll attend the talk if you didn't see it at TLUG. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
