(Disclaimer: I’m doing light-volunteer work for them, but am in no way a primary organizer.)I am really looking forward to this event. It’s got the spirit of a BarCamp (and one free-for-all unconference day), but the "curation" of OSCON or a more traditional event.
It’s a really good mix of some big name speakers like Rasmus and Chris Messina, and not-so-big-names, giving fresh topics a second look.

I really like the mix of big names, and regular folks just talking about solutions they come up with. Perfect for a conference (sometimes we just see "the usual suspects" over and over.).

Pricing makes me think of YAPC. I went to one of those; it was a great time. Lots of talent, both local and big name. Larry Wall ended up being sick (IIRC), but Damian Conway gave a great introduction to programming in Klingon (with working prototype).http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/KlingonPerlProgramming
