RailsConf Europe -- who's going?

I missed out on the real RailsConf, so now I’m considering going to the Europe one, except it seems nothing’s happening: There’s no buzz, there’s no notice that it’s about to sell out, no sense of urgency.

Realistically, since all the material from the other RailsConf is available online, there’s really no reason to go other than to get to know people in the community. But that only works if other people are showing up.

The larger problem here is with European “light” versions of original US conferences. EuroOSCON is another. How do you get people to show up for these, if all the momentum is with the “real” one in the US? To me, that makes original European productions like Reboot much more compelling. Reboot gets to be its own thing, with its own vibe, and its own testicular displays.

So, back to RailsConf Europe: Can we get a show of hands? Which of the caboosers are coming? Core team? Other folks? Does the conference have a participants list? Head on over to the Caboose wiki and let us know if you’re coming—or if you’re just thinking about coming, let us know, too.

UPDATE: David responds on the Rails blog.

UPDATE 2: Ok, now that I’ve decided I’m going, my interest has shifted to where people are staying and when they arrive/leave. I’ve updated the wiki page to reflect this. Go update your entries.
