I was thinking maybe I'd bug her about the new "no students" policy at LinuxWorld. I'm not too keen on "age discrimination" as a path to being "more professional".

As your friendly former LinuxWorld conference director, I should remind you that LinuxWorld Conf. and Expo != LinuxWorld.com, the online mag now run by NetworkWorld and edited by the highly esteemed Don Marti.

Also, if you want to give the finger to the folks responsible for the new age restrictions, you are welcome to do that to all the sponsors that demanded it. The real irony, however, is that after imposing the age restrictions, attendance dropped off, and then they bitched at us for that, too. Which just goes to show... never actually listen to customers, just pretend like you do :D
