Pretty hard to say how many people attended because of that, though, since we didn't poll on it. But I will say that it was a Friday track, which is generally the lowest turnout day because of work/school conflicts. In the past we always had commercially-focused material on Fridays, since a lot of businesses will let their people go on Friday if it's to attend a training-related thing. So Red Hat will do a day of RHEL classes or whatever. I definitely recommend it for SCALE; I can probably even help if you want (I've gone every year I could; this past one I was in the UK so it was the first I missed in quite a while).
