I don't think there is anything wrong with having non .NET people there. They bring ideas from Java and Ruby to the discussion. Most of the tools (ndepends, nspec, nunit, etc) take their roots in other languages where these same problems exist, and may have already been solved.

I'm definitely thinking about doing one in London.

When will YOU plan an AltNetConf?

First, go read Bil Simser's post about planning an AltNetConf in your area, and then go read Martin

@Tom: Yeah, that rocks. I'm all for AltConfAlberta. Banff sounds great (or Jasper, but I think there's better facilities at Banff, John B. probably knows). Not that we want a gimmick to attract people, but Banff in the spring/summer might be good as people could relax and try out some golf or something, although it's one day so who knows. We can talk more at CC.

I do believe at the Edmonton Code Camp there is some sort of altnetconf brain dump session planned. I'm working on a blog post as to what I thought about altnetconf (because you know there aren't enough of those around).

I like the idea of an AltNetConfAlberta. I'd wager that if we did it in Banff or Jasper in the summer, we could trick some of our American comrades to coming up as well. Kyle/Justice might even come from that B-island he's hiding out on too.
