OSCON 2015 Booth/BoF

It's that time of year again. 

1. Who's currently planning to attend OSCON?

2. I'm expecting the booth application process to open any day now.

For those who've attended in recent years, do you feel it is still worthwhile to have a booth?  (Traffic has really fallen off in the past couple of years, not just at the booth, but in the expo hall in general.)

3. PDXPUG will be hosting a BoF session, as usual.

Don't know, haven't heard about talks yet, either yes or no.

I'd leave this up to the folks who actually need to take off work.  For
those of us attending the actual conference, it's not much of a hardship
to work the booth.  I'm happy to put in a shift or two.

I don't know but I was just weeding the spam folder and found this:

we'reinviting you to submit a proposal to speak. 

Now wouldn't you know it, this is the same week as PGConf.eu. There's
some overlap but assuming the training sessions are the beginning of
the week and assuming it's not necessary to attend every day of OSCON
it may be possible to do both.

Oh, crap. I wonder if that's going to end up hurting us for attendance :S

I doubt it. I don't know about others but OSCON seems pretty lackluster
nowadays.

I'd leave this up to the folks who actually need to take off work.  For

to work the booth.  I'm happy to put in a shift or two.

That would be me (the "taking off work" part).  After discussing this with several folks, I've decided not to invest my time in organizing a booth this year;  I don't feel the ROI is worth it.

PDXPUG will host a BoF as usual;  I'll announce it here & the usual spots.
