I'm  not sure what your problem is with the site. Anyways, I'm aware that this is an image problem for a "linux conference", but it's a start and better than nothing. "linuxworldexpo.be" is only a very tiny, small piece of the bigger "infosecurity.be" fair.

AFAIK the community receives the opportunity to have a presence at this conference, without having to pay the kind of fee the 'normal' exhibitors need to pay. Plainly criticizing them would also be rude, I think.

Not directly. The person who is, Dag Wieers, is well know, in our community,

and I'm sure he will handle this appropriately, and tell those people, if he thinks it's appropriate.

*We* should be thankful they give the community this opportunity, which is a first this year. 

That website is the same engine it has been for a couple of years, I don't think we can expect them to suddenly change that.


Thanks for your feedback.
