More information on this conference is available at http://blog.hostileadmin.com/2013/04/17/vbsdcon-oct-25-27-2013/. We are excited to host this conference and are looking forward to seeing you there. > > -- > Vincent (Rick) Miller > Systems Engineer > vmiller@verisign.com No discouragement intended to Vincent (Rick) M, who I guess has probably worked hard to get his comany to fund something that will hopefuly bring useful synergy, but .. The URL & beyond didn't seem to include why one commercial company agreed to pay & host a BSD conference alone, when they could chip in with other companies to be one of several funders for a conference that would be vendor neutral ? The 8 line signature from corporate lawyers does not allay scepticism.
