Euro OSCON Registration

It's the last day for "early bird" registration at Euro OSCON - a saving of 170EUR. If you go, you'll find Axel and I there, and perhaps some other European Mozilla people as well. Axel is giving a talk on "Mozilla as a Development Platform". Oddly, he's on the Linux track - perhaps because they didn't have a more suitable one.

Personally, I think it's unfortunate that the conference fee is so high, even with the discount, but I can only assume that it reflects the true cost of putting it on. I'm looking forward to the next FOSDEM, though :-)

The cost is what is keeping me away. £400, even with the early bird and student discounts, is a lot of money and that's even before flights and accommodation :(

We need more conferences like Open Tech - only £5 entry.

I'm also not coming cos of the cost. The various discounts suddenly being offered (a speaker I know was offered a 35% discount for friends and family; a 25% discount for O'Reilly Radar readers) suggest a certain amount of desperation — are they short of attendees?

More on-topic for this blog, it seems that Ben Goodger is also speaking at Euro Oscon.

Hmmm ... I think the Euro OSCON link is messed up...
