Jim mentioned to me the desire to have a Hackers-like conference for Zope m=

times and I think it would be really cool. I think the Rotterdam Sprintatho=

was probably the closest to that the Python/Zope community has done. I thin=

it is worth a try to run a conference like that. I for one never go for the=

talks anyways, since I know most of the technology I am interested in=20
anyways. I only go to conferences to meet people and update myself about so=

new developments. So for me a coding conference would be a million times mo=

interesting and worth my money! I realize that we also have business people=

at the conference, but as you said, we could prepare talks for them - but t=

true advantage is that they can see the productivity of our technologies. A=
ll=20
good in my opinion.

BTW, I like your second suggestion as well.
