Exactly how many weeks per year do you think Apple's engineers should take away from their primary jobs in order put on WWDCs? Or to put my point more directly: this will never happen, for very good reasons. WWDC is very special because Apple makes the engineers who create the OS & frameworks & tools available for direct interaction. That makes it a wonderful resource for developers, but also an inherently constrained one. I'd personally rather have it this way and difficult to access, than have the typical conference: run mostly by presenters with a week of training, and maybe the occasional engineering manager showing up for an hour to give a speech before being whisked back to work. -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
