That event is hardcore.

Just check the 2009 list of topics and speakers:

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2009/speakers.php?types=TALK

Fascinating stuff, but I couldn't contribute one iota of knowledge to

place of somebody who'd get a lot more out of it.

The proceedings are really nicely put together though.
