Hi,

Is there any documents or videos of "Southwest Fox 2014" and 
"Southwest Xbase++ 2014" available ?

Regards
Kiron

Hi Kiron,

Generally the DevCon material is not intended to be published.
We (Alaska) have shown things that is not documented yet, those
things will be documented of course one after the other. However,
the same is true in this case: We have no plans to release the DevCon
material to the public.

With my best regards,

Hi Jacob John,

allow me to clarify.

First of all, conference material is for conference attendees only. The 
reason for that is simple, around 60% of the conference ticket income goes 
to the speakers in terms of airfare/transportation, hotel and 
speakers-dinner. IAW attendees pay for speakers to be there.

In turn speaker are forced to delivery a minimum of 15-20 pages 
proceeding/paper, source code and samples. Speakers also must present two 
sessions about two different topics and each session must be repeated.

This concepts works very well and creates real value and really good 
content. And it would simple break if the material would be available to non 
attendees.

Consequently I strongly encourage you to consider attending Southwest 
Xbase++ 2015 in October next year.

Hi Steffen,

I agree with your views.

But the problem is 

I am from Kochi, India. When i checked, air fair from Kochi to Phoenix
is between $ 1800 to $ 3000 (Round trip).

And cost of registration is $ 795.00. And plus other expenses. When I
convert in to our corrency it will come around Rs. 270000.00. It is a
very big amount for us to afford.

Dont laugh. If we could spare that much amount, i would prefer buying
XBase 2.0 for our developers who still work in 1.9.

So i am encouraged with your invitation. But i know i can not attend
the event because of the cost.

If you publish the content of conference, Do you think any of the
attendees will question you ? or Will they say that Alaska Software
cheated them ? 

I think they will never say like that.

Any way, Company is yours. You have contducted the conference. So
defenetely the discreation is with you. And i know there is no point
of maiking any complaint.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Regards
Kiron
