Did anyone know about this?  Did they even bother to contact the people who actually work with Open Source?  Is Open Source to be co-opted once again?

Shall we discredit this conference on the whole?  Can anyone speak on behalf of this event?  It's very scandalous in my estimation. :)

Conference Fee: US $1595
