Subject: RE: 2003 IOUG Meeting
Although it is not cheap to attend IOUG, I agree it is very worthwhile.
If money is an issue consider:
1) Presenting - your conference fee is waived or reduced (for quick tips)
2) Volunteering - I volunteered when it was held in Denver and received
$300 off for being a room monitor for a day
3) Sharing hotel room - I prefer the solitude of a hotel room to
decompress/working on my presentation, but if money is tight, it's not a
bad
way to go. Then again, after sharing a 'room' (about the size of a
cubicle)
at Gorak Shep, Nepal with 2 other men, anything with indoor plumbing is
luxurious.
4) Shopping around/staying offsite - I found a significantly better rate
on
a room on Expedia for San Diego. Not sure about Dolphin & Swan...
Of course, the best reason to spend the money...
Put a face with all those anonymous geeks who post smart-@ss RTFM
comments
on the list...
