Northern Voice 2006

Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: , , . 

I just cashed in all of my Aeroplan miles for a return flight to Northern Voice 2006. I’m SOOOOO looking forward to those couple of days in Vancouver. I’m skipping the DrupalCon that’s in town the week prior to NV so I’m not away from the family toooo much… I was originally planning on hitting both events to gather ideas for the seemingly endless lineup of Drupal-related projects we’re working on at the Learning Commons, but will settle for lurking on whatever online component they have, and catching the Coles Notes version during Moose Camp…

Booking the tickets through the Aeroplan program was less painful than I expected, but they sure have a weird method of selecting flights – they provided me with about 10 preselected combinations of flights on the days I selected. I couldn’t just pick the individual flights with the times I wanted. I suppose that’s the tradeoff for cashing in on an almost-free trip…

    I was looking at NV, as an excuse to go out west and ski Grouse Mtn ( you know, “after”wards).

    Do you see any value in regular blogging folk attending? OR should we leave it to you to do some vacuuming for us?

    NV is explicitly billed as a non-geek conference, for anyone from newbies to hard core bloggers. Lots of regular folk – that’s what makes it so cool. Last year after the keynote, someone asked Tim Bray what Sun Microsystems (the company he works for) does :-)
