Working on my conference travel plans and wishes for the year. I am downgrading OLS to a maybe, the cost is becoming more of a factor. Likewise, while I had incredible fun at FOSDEM last year, and OSCON in 2006, I cannot justify the airfare/hotel expenses for them. I would like to attend SCALE at some point as well, but uncertain for the same cost reason.

Done:
  • February 25-27, SCALE 9x @ Los Angeles, CA, USA. [SCALE9x].
  • April 11-14, MySQL UC @ Santa Clara, CA, USA [MySQLconf].
  • April 13, Embedded Linux Conference @ San Francisco, CA [ELC].
Confirmed:
  • April 27-30, STS-134 launch @ Kennedy Space Centre, FL, USA [STS134].
  • May 26-29, Bowen Island, BC, Canada.
  • June 25-26, Mini Maker Faire Vancouver @ Vancouver, BC, Canada.
  • August 17-19, LinuxCon 2011 @ Vancouver, BC, Canada [LinuxCon].
  • August 25-28, PAX Prime 2011 @ Seattle, WA, USA.
Maybe:
  • July 25-29, OSCON @ Portland, OR, USA.
  • August 7-11, SIGGRAPH 2011 @ Vancouver, BC, Canada.
  • October 19-22, Access 2011, @ Vancouver, BC, Canada.
  • October 22-23, Google Summer of Code 2011 Mentor Summit @ Mountain View, CA, USA.
Would like to go, but out of my financial reach:
  • February 5-6, FOSDEM @ Brussels, Belgium.
  • June 13-15, Linux Symposium @ Ottawa, ON, Canada.
  • September 7-9, Linux Plumbers @ Santa Rosa, CA, USA.

Why is Portland out of your financial reach? Train and couch-surfing. You have no idea how to suffer for your art properly.

Travel, accommodation, food, registration costs. The exhibit hall is free at OSCON, but the other admissions used to start around $1200.

My ballpark budgeting figures below. Food based on $50/day. Couch-surfing or sharing rooms for accommodation.

MySQL UC: $400 travel, $200 accommodation, $300 food, Sponsored reg. = $900.
LinuxCon: $0 travel, $0 accommodation, $200 food, $400 reg = $600.

Linux Symposium: $600 travel, $500 accommodation, $300 food, $100 reg = $1500

FOSDEM: $1200 travel, $300 accommodation, $300 food, Completely free reg = $1800
SCALE 9x: $400 travel, $200 accommodation, $200 food, Sponsored reg. = $800
OSCON: $200 travel, $300 accommodation, $300 food, Free exhibits reg only ($1200+ for more) = $800.
