Chipp and Dan have put together a wonderful event at Monterey - I don't think people realize just how much work goes into these kinds of events.
I know how much work and time goes into planning and implementing these kinds of events. I've not attended their event but my I'd like to send out a few words of appreciation to Chipp & Dan for all they have done to promote Rev and just as important, at least in my mind, the promote a real community of Rev developers. Thanks. Profit? Anyone who decides to hold such an event to make even small sums of money needs to seek professional help. My partner Cloe and I used a lots of tricks to make sure we didn't lose our shirts. Even though we used experience to keep costs down, we met just about everyone at the airport and personally helped them get to the hotel, booked rooms and conference space over a year in advance, haggled over lunch costs with the hotel, and more things than you can begin to imagine to keep costs low but provide a quality experience for the attendees. Arranging a Rev conference is not for amateurs. We did it because of the people, mostly. Meeting and then becoming friends with people who attended the conference was huge part our motivation. Financial return is definitely not part of the equation. It's all about the people...there are some wonderful, interesting, talented people that use Rev. It's about the people.
