I have been to conferences that cost a third of that though to be fair I've also been to conferences that were double the cost as well. Of the conferences that I have been to the content of each were about equal, so I cannot gauge any reason the price would be so high. It also happens to be right as the summer is about to start in North America and it might be great for the international crowd it is not so good for homeboys like me.

It's nice to attend conferences, but if you can't manage it, then your contributions are not going to be valued any less. I myself have never been to an Ubuntu developer conference, although I'd like to, it's just never been possible.

I guess that this, sadly, is the price of success. Remember, conferences like this aren't for hobbyists or public users. They're for professionals who can get their companies to pay for it.

It would make Ubuntu more expensive for me than all Micro$oft Windows version together. The price is also turning me of.

Some companies consider that all is crap unless it costs a lot of money. And think about people that would come from another continent.

I have to agree that for a 3 day conference, it's too much money to make it worth the cost. Anyway, Have fun Christer. Get a signature and picture or two for me. :) I *really* want to go too.
