Yeah, as every year...

And as every year I refuse to support an event which doesn't (or only
pretends to) care about open source projects with volunteers as
exhibitors.
But I've given up to discuss this with the organizers issue. Did that
for years. They are deaf on that ear. They care about the business
customers and the business fair they tied themself to.
I will think about organising our booth if they move towards at least
a Fri/Sat scheme and I would like to organise our booth if they move
to a whole weekend (and I'm available on that weekend).

I do not expect much more non-business visitors since non-business
visitors also heavily depend on weekends. Nobody will take an extra
holiday just because there's an exhibition on workdays about those
guys who cried out loud about the CHF 42 million deal with MS.
