Once you get all the answers, will you then publish it (in a "statistic" form) ?
I looked deeply into my pocket for apacheCon, but found it very expensive, so I would really like to hear if it was worthwhile. We have FOSDEM upcomming in europe, and many like me, may be questioning, is that how I should spend my money ? I think it is very important, that we get the community "floating" and gain momentum, but has anyone thought about making events that did not cost 600,- EUR + travel/hotel etc. ?? This is just a thought, please do not take it offensive that I as a newcomer suggest something different , but maybe it is time, we made a OpenOffice (I do not write AOO on purpose) gathering, where developers can talk to developers without the overhead of a big conference company !! I used to do participate in such events, which were highly successful, so I can only recommend it (and would be pleased to help establish such a non-commercial event). Jan.
