What is the reason to spend so much money? 1. The trip is successful if you communicate with people, make questions and collect ideas. Are you ready to make the efforts? 2. Are you going make a presentation? The workshop is a good chance to * share your libraries with other developers; * learn new eComStation technologies and share the knowledge with other developers; * present own concept of OS development; * inform developers which software and drivers should be created; 3. Moreover, the visit of the conference gives you: Intercourse * You are meeting with other users and developers from different countries, different cultures; * If you are a developer, then you are meeting with your clients.
