the show (LinuxWorld) will be smaller next year?

[Michael Paoli]

Ah, you're right, ... as far as I can easily tell, looks like except for
last year, when it's been in San Francisco, it's been in Moscone
North (at least for the exhibition floor - some other stuff has been in
other parts of the Moscone Convention Center).  At least that's what I
seem to find checking over some older exhibit floor plans I can find, and
some older photos found on-line (Moscone North and South are relatively
easily distinguished by their entrances to the exhibit floor and/or the
differences in their ceiling shape/construction).

Still seemed "smaller" somehow ... maybe less "buzz" about it and somewhat
lower attendance compared to 2 years ago.
