Yes, I did face a very similar situation with my after lunch talk at DevoXX BE (literally on Nov 13th, but I only learned of the Paris attacks when I waited for my plane in AMS) Not only had some people already gone, there were at least 2 competing Cloud/Microservice talks by Google and Microsoft plus a "keynote style" closing talk by a celebrity Blackhat-turned-Whitehat hacker. Yet there must have been over 100 people also thanks to Yara and Vinicius with their IoT gadget session before mine ;-)
We (Leo, Otavio and myself) have a JSR 363 BOF on Monday at 7pm. It slightly overlaps with the JCP Party, but hope we can gather a few people and take them to the party afterwards, also to celebrate the Final Release of 363 among other things;-) BOFs can be much worse, e.g. 10pm while another popular party already ended;-D Werner On Sat, Aug 20, 2016 at 4:50 PM, John D.
