I am not quite sure. I haven't been to one.
But from what I read from wikipedia, it seems not.
For example, I would like to know more about the use
of Python and Go in sys admin work. If someone can
give a talk on them I will be very interested. The pool
is just a way to show what we are interested in.

Regards,
Kun
