Still the other side of the world, but FOSS4G2007 will be "only" $400
and will have some of the coolest kids in the geospatial 'hood attending
(if by "coolest" you mean "geekiest" and by "hood" you mean "the internet").

Evan Prodromou asked me the other day on #geo (irc.oftc.net) whether
I'd be attending Where 2.0 this year. I had to answer no, because it's
not only on the other side of the world from me - I'm in London - but
also the registration cost is way more than I can afford. The cynic in
me might comment that with a price of $1100-$1500, saying the
conference is for "activists and community organizers building tools
for managing non-profit location groups" is a bit rich - ho ho.
Evan suggested holding an alternative, BarCamp/WikiSym-like event in
London. This could be a good chance for UK/Euro geohackers to get
together and do the knowledge sharing thing. Do people on this list
think they'd be interested in coming to such a happening?
