I just noticed (or re-noticed) that this is local. But the registration price (now US$950) means I won't be going.
Microsoft is a Diamond Sponsor. At that price, why do they need sponsors?
I suspect a very large percentage of the attendees will do so on memberships paid by their companies - it's how I attend most conferences, and at this point Linux is so heavily used on servers that many companies can justify sending dozens of programmers and sysadmins. And then there are companies like RedHat, whose sole business is Linux - I expect they'll send a few people, as will other companies like them. But there was also a way to get in free ... I applied to be a speaker. And rather to my surprise (and terror), I was accepted. I'd love the support of any attending TLUG members, but if you saw my last talk at TLUG on Vim, I'm doing pretty much the same thing again so you might want to skip it. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
