Move along, nothing to read

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.

I need to write a really detailed blogpost later, however one of the odder moments, was a Gentoo user from the LA area calling me "a walking manpage". To dissect, this is not correct, a directory of manpages perhaps, but not a singular manpage.
