Google I/O 2011: No love for Academia?
2 February, 2011 § 3 Comments
Reading blogs on the web would make one believe that attendees of last year’s Google I/O conference are allowed to register January 31, a week before general registration opens.
Yet a couple days ago I received an email telling me to “mark my calendar for February 7th, when general registration will open.” Last year I attended the conference using the Academia discount, and as far as I can tell, the Academia discount is the reason why there is no preference.
Why isn’t Google showing appreciation to their peers in academia?
