  Ditto for me.

  Also, not so soon after the New Year would work a little better for
me.  I was dealing with end-of-year accounting issues for my fledgling
company (and beginning-of-year tight budget) and the conference was on
me practically before I realized it.  I was aware and thinking of
going, especially with the Terpstra training, but the combination of
holiday time crunch, personal tight budget, and my temporary
disorganization stalled me.

  If you want to reach a broader group of attendees, though, I think it
would be very beneficial to reach more of the general business
community who aren't already involved with FOSS, so that they can learn
the benefits.  Maybe next year some PBN ads and a modest direct mail
campaign to local businesses would be worth it.

  I also hope you bring back John Terpstra's seminar next year, as I'm
still kicking myself for passing it up.

  Just my $0.02c.
