Anyway

I used to, some­times, go to a con­fer­ence in Montreal in August called Extreme Markup Lan­guages. Some­times a bit over-the-top geeky for me, but mostly a good exper­i­ence. There’s now a new con­fer­ence in Montreal in August, run by some of the same people and chaired by Tom­mie Usdin from Mul­berry Tech­no­lo­gies, called Bal­is­age (the reason for the name is on that web site). It prom­ises to have much the same sort of XML-related geekiness.

The con­fer­ence com­mit­tee invited me to be on the Advis­ory Board, and I’ve signed up as a peer reviewer. Montreal in August, per­haps even with the fam­ily in tow, with some fun top­ics to geek out over, sounds appealing.
