Dolt! Linux World is a TRADE SHOW, like Mac World (last January they had
over
20,000 attendees). Not a developer conference. Do you even KNOW the
difference between a trade show where people walk through exhibits and a
developer conference where people spend thousands of dollars to attend and
set through sessions and cl***** on how to write software and hardware
drivers and use SDKs and HDKs from morning to night? Pretty silly analogy
if
you ask me. It's like saying "Only 5000 attendees? More than that attended
the Giants baseball game last night." That is about as relevant as what
you
just said.
