I'm not much for conferences, but I have been following the issues motivating this one for some time, and the thing that strikes me most about TruceConf is that every development seems to be <i>about ElizabethN</i>. Why she's doing it, how much she's learning from her myriad mistakes, but nothing about, you know, <i>the conference</i>. It just seems like a pie in the sky, "sometime in 2014," Elizabeth-party that seems to just suck attention and interest away from other ways of dealing with the problems it's trying to address. I hate to rain on the parades of the seemingly good-intentioned, but I think she probably pulled the trigger on this idea too quickly, that the topic doesn't really respond well to an MVP strategy.<p>tl;dr: Everything about TrueConf appears inwardly-focused.
