Registration at the day of the event (if there are any slots left) will increase to $125. Many of you are also following along as we reveal our speakers. Every Monday and Thursday, from now through January, we're releasing details on a new speaker. Just yesterday we announced our 3rd speaker, Chris Buechler of the pfSense project.

Was it for some trademark/legal greedy reason we aren't allowed to use him anymore? Who is allowed to use him now? What does Beastie represent now? The reason why I'm asking is because I want to make a GDM theme that includes Beastie in it. In all the gazillions of years I've been using BSD's, Beastie has represented the true face of Berkeley Unix and it would be a dying shame to see him gone forever!
