Let me give you my thoughts on this. I, too, think the price is rather steep. The reason for that is that the Linux Foundation is not expecting individuals to pay the registration fee (though I did it before. If you do, I would recommend to first become a member of the Linux Foundation because the registration fee reductions you get that way pay for the member fee about three times over). Rather, it is the company you work for that is expected to pay for you going there. > And I notice Microsoft is a Diamond sponsor ? Interesting ! Probably due to Microsoft profiting off of Linux running on Azure. It's a very good thing in any case!
