Apparently my NYCBSDCon presentation, BSD Needs Books, went over well. I was just invited to reprise it at BSDCan on 13-14 May 2011.
So, what’s the critical difference between NYCBSDCon and BSDCan? Both have great people. Both have great presentations. But there’s one critical point in NYC’s favor.
It’s 0.95km between the U of O Residences at BSDCan to the gelato shop. From the St. Marks Hotel in NYC to the gelato shop is less than 50 meters. BSDCan has clearly fallen behind in the critical factor in North American BSD conferences. I’m confident Dan (Mr. BSDCan) can figure out some way to shift the balance back to Ottawa, though.
I haven’t been invited to BSDCan in years. I wonder if it’s the “I’m retired” statement? Hmm…
You did say “I’m done.” Rather forcefully. actually.
But nobody ever listens to me. Why start now? 🙂
Mr Dixon: when was the last time you submitted a proposal? Now is your chance. Did you hear? The CFP went out.
