Hi Colin,

Could you please forward this message, or my email address, to Ron for
me?  I'd like to ask a question regarding which free "ticket" I might
register for.  According to the registration page, the available
ticket types are:

Business (Marketing / PR)
Creative (Design)
Creative (User Experience)
Development (Java)	
Development (PHP)	
Development (Rails)	
Legal	
Videography / Blogging / Communications

If this is for Web 2.0 ventures, why are the tickets for development
languages so limited?  JavaScript should be one the languages, and
other server-side languages (such as Perl) are quite capable of
building AJAXy and/or community based applications.

Thanks and take care,
- Scott.
