I'm sorry if my initial response sounded flippant. This is a
commercial conference. I don't run it -- I'm just one of the speakers.
If you'd like to discuss the matter with someone who can speak about
in better detail than me, Jay Zimmerman runs the conference. His email
is jay@.... Or you can talk to him directly -- he'll
be behind the registration desk as you check in.

Your problem is a common one -- I attend as many conferences as I
present at, and often times I have to make the same tradeoffs that you
are going to have to make this weekend. You are always faced with hard
decisions, whether it is at JavaOne, QCon, The ServerSide, or any of
the other conferences. But the common thread among all of them is that
they are commercial and none of them allow the attendees to record the
sessions -- for personal use or otherwise.

For selfish reasons I hope to see you at my Groovy sessions on Friday,
but you'll be in good hands whichever sessions you decide to attend. I
know Ken, Brian, Neal, and Jared all very well -- there's not a bad
presenter in the bunch. Here's a link to the schedule to help you make
your decision:
