I just received an email stating what I thought would be inevitable: Linux World Expo & Conference will no longer be held in Boston! Add to that the fact that it hasn’t been held in NYC for the last 2 years, this could mean the end of my long streak of participation at the event! :/
Year after year the event took on a more business-like approach, and colorfull couches and hang out areas were slowly converted to formal meeting lounges and the geeks were no longer the majority in attendance. Instead, a whole new “harvest” of business people took over and you could just feel that unless you had something to sell, people wouldn’t spent too much time with you.
I highly doubt I’ll be able to attend the lonely survivor LWE & C event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and this makes me deeply sad…
