My suspicions:
1) Any given VCF is way too far away for the majority to attend.
That's why we're interested :-).
2) Pictures and technical info on systems can be found
on the 'net
already.
3) Discussions (and banter) with system owners can be regularly be had
here already.
Maybe the show talk all happened somewhere else, and I missed it?
... hence for most people a VCF discussion just serves
no purpose, unlike
in the early days when it was something new and different to talk about
(and hence popular discussion even amongst non-attendees)
I thought there were going to be some cool workshops and stuff. Didn't
anyone build anything at the workshops? Or maybe everyone did, so it
didn't seem like a big deal?
I don't think there's anything wrong with the
show(s), or with the list -
it's just that now it's an 'old' concept there's less interest from
the
people who won't be / weren't there.
Surely there's still *something* controversial or interesting about them!
