[NTLUG:Discuss] Darl McBride to keynote 64-bit conference

[fredjame]

As might be expected, the enterprise seems to be strictly commercial, 
and therefore of questionable value.  I noted only a few 
addresses/events claiming "open source" as a topic, and that is to be 
expected too, since the supporters of the whole thing hope to turn a 
buck on their investment in this thing somehow.  I wonder that someone 
hasn't thought of "hosting" a totally low cost (hopefully free) "Digital 
Conference" as an alternative to these time consuming, travel intensive, 
over priced, events?  I mean, what do we have the Internet for after 
all, if not to share information.  Speech, address, and class formats 
could be video, text, presentation format, or PDF, to name only a few.  
Responses and questions could be monitored, archived, and shared, etc.  
Is that a complete non starter?

Anyway, my non support for the event is that I shall not attend - not 
that anyone will notice.
