- I occasionally revisit IDG events/websites, but in general, they seem so uninspired compared to the increasingly wide variety of alternatives out there. For Linux, OSCON's quality of both content and prospective customers is so much higher than LinuxWorld.

(4 Comments)This year I skipped LinuxWorld altogether, and will go to a couple new events I haven't tried yet.
On the web, IDG websites really try to squeeze every past page view with extra ads ands breaks. Plus their writers just don't seem to be really interested or involved in the material.
I think in a post-internet world, only the passionate survive, with so much content and event stuff to choose from. You can see IDG (and their peers, don't mean to pick only on them) wither away a bit more each year.
