The
WebDU was great last year. It looked pretty damn successful.
If you
keep bagging the organiser maybe he'll just give up and not put any
events on at all..
As
someone who grew up in WA in the most isolated city in the world (and the
most neglected in Australia as far as the big events go), I cannot see
what the big fuss is about.
Because it
doesn't seem obvious I will say this: Sydney is in the middle of the east coast,
one can drive there from Melbourne or Brisbane overnight on perhaps one tank of
fuel (depending on what car you have). It is only
45 minutes by plane from Melbourne and perhaps an hour and a bit from
Brisbane. You can set yourself up at one of the many backpackers down the road
if accomodation costs are an issue (just hold on to your valuables and be
sure to bathe in Dettol every morning). However, the Hilton has been refurbished
recently and looks very nice.
If
you're still concerned about costs, you can carpool it here to Sydney and
back (around $160 in fuel = $40 each?) and live in my garage. There's
a king size double being stored there, probably good for up to four programmers.
You might have to avoid inhaling the fumes from all the semi-opened cans of
paint and double-stroke lying around in there. And definately no smoking
indoors. (No, this is not really available, I am just
kidding)
The
only real cost is your time, as someone else said, if you're spending it
elsewhere you're probably not that serious about your
career.
