Is this summit worth attending? Can someone share their opinion?

my 2 centavos..... depends on what you're looking for. I started this thread because i was more interested in the programming an web development side of Open Source.

I have been to a few of these conferences and have a good idea about what to expect.
Looking at the program, it looks like there is going to be a lot of talk about corporate IT stuff, specially on the first day. The only part that interests me is the morning of the second day so i'm wondering if that's enough to justify paying 2500.

Technical stuff aside, it's usually a good time for networking. Most people there will be in the same industry.

This is interesting, I just wish our company can send two reps.

2500 per person?
