Well, the rule of needing to have a dev account prior to this morning's announcement may help some of us get tickets, but it's gonna be a little nuts. I like the idea that was floated on twitter: give us a simple coding quiz. A 'Captcha' for Objective-C developers. Adding to that, make the test graded. The better you do, the bigger the pool of available tickets for your percentile.
The most interesting part of WWDC is going to be seeing whether the SDKs for iOS and OSX unify.<p>If developers can have one code base and deploy to all the Apple products (AppleTV, Mac, iPad, iPhone) it could be a real game changer for the whole industry i.e. the first multi-device platform war. I assume MS is thinking the same way (XBox, Windows, Windows Phone) with their recent moves as well as Ubuntu.
It's nice that Apple offer scholarships for students wishing to attend, but it's unfortunate that they don't cover travel expenses. I would really like to apply to attend, but living in the UK and not having enough funds to travel such a large distance is preventing me.<p>Guess I'll have to wait!
