If you are planning to come to OSCON 2009 (in San Jose this year), the following may be of assistance with the (sadly but perhaps understandably substantial) registration cost:
We are extending early registration until June 23, 2009 for OSCON. A savings
of $250 off standard registration. Because you have been accepted as a
speaker for this year’s show, we would like to extend an additional savings
for your friends, family and co-workers. If you have a blog, newsletter
or website, please feel free to use and distribute this 20% off code:
os09fos.
(I’m speaking on Building Applications with Mozilla, with David Boswell, and I’m also on a panel about Can Trademarks Be Helpful to Free Software Projects?.) They did say “if you have a blog”, so here it is. I’m not sure how many people they’ll get not using the code if all the speakers blog it, but there you go.
