Amasing !!! I too registered but didn't go to the event. Looks like a good thing I didn't waste time.
I do not understand, however what was the basis on which they didn't allow you in. I thought registering on web and getting the confirmation was the way to do it.

Best thingy,
To stay happy, Stay away from all such crappy PR events meant to fatten their images. Calling their VP's and CEO's to give long pep talks meant to create mind share with customer such that they allow for bigger holes to be blown in their own pockets.
After all these suckers just want to fatten their pockets. And we all know their attitude well enough. Nothing to write home about. Box pushers.....or Software license sellers....call em whatever you may, it just takes one such incident to dent their image.
I pray that the ideals of FSF-OS rule above all. And as JTD suggests time and again history has proven that sanity rules inspite of the crusades men have launched against their own brethren.
