RE: [PHP] PHP|Con insane pricing

I don't know, the Ottawa Linux Symposium runs in Ottawa Canada each year. They usually run about 5 days and rent multiple rooms. The cost to non-students (this year): $325 CAD ($217 USD). That's less than half the price of PHP|Con. Cheers, Rob. On Tue, 2003-09-16 at 09:31, Dan Joseph wrote: > Hi, > > I know a couple people who put together a Con once.
