I don't know, the Ottawa Linux Symposium runs in Ottawa Canada each
year. They usually run about 5 days and rent multiple rooms. The cost to
non-students (this year): $325 CAD ($217 USD). That's less than half the

an expensive thing, usually offset by sponsors to a de
Let me also say, that I fully think their price is fair. It's right in
line with most other conferences (if not cheaper). I was just clarifying
that the $495 price is not all inclusive. I wish I would be able to
attend, but unfortunately money is tight right now for me, and I can't
afford it. I mos

It's not about parenting but about money management. It's pretty cool
and shows you how to minimize taxes (so the govn't gets less then 40%).
