SCALE is the best show that I have ever done. It had ALL KINDS of good exposure for Haiku, including BSD's, Google, many more. I would wholeheartedly agree that this is a good investment. LinuxWorld was not, but SCALE definitely was a great idea.

My recent financial work has reminded me of the cost of conferences over the years. Of course exposure and advertising or however you would classify our showing at a conference is hard to quantify. I'd be curious if anyone else on this list has an opinion. I'll finish up some more clean-up work on the financial reports in the next few days so other people can have a better look and overview of conference costs in the past. -- Regards, Ryan
