Announcing CodeConf 2011 (GitHub is putting on a conference)

For a minute, I thought CodeCon was coming back. Darn! That was a cool conference. I somehow managed to scam my way into speaking at the first one -- I was the least smart person there by far!

I wish conferences weren't so damned expensive.

Not all of them are! PyCon (http://us.pycon.org/2011/tickets/) is 30% cheaper (40% if you got earlybird).

The article's link is to an informationless blog post. The conference site is http://codeconf.com/ .

Someone submitted it to HN too: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2167727

As a student, and a startup employee, I must say that not everyone has the ability to expense their employer.

Argh, really sorry about that, had the wrong url on my clipboard when I submitted — and unfortunately there's no editing urls :/ I guess maybe I should learn to read what I'm typing.
