Should we? I actually few to Portland for the CLS (the days before OSCON) and 
simply flew back when OSCON started - not even bothering to pay a few hotel 
nights to be there. That upon advice from some ppl including Greg KH that the 
event is not worth going to... Just saying, if your experience is different 
and/or someone wants to go, fine. I just wouldn't trow money at it unless you 
know it's valuable.
