An European weblog conference

I would really like to attend...but I have no money for that...:(

Here you are the post I have just received:

"Hi everybody,

this is the official announcement of Blogtalk 2.0. The European
Conference on Weblogs.

The conference is designed to initiate a dialog between bloggers,
developers, researchers and others who share, enjoy and analyse the
benefits of blogging. The focus is on weblogs as an expression of a
culture based on the exchange of information, ideas and knowledge.
In the spirit of the free exchange of opinions, links and thoughts we
wish to engage a wide range of participants from the blogosphere in
this discourse.

This time we decided to establish a steering committee that mirrors
the different cultures and economics of weblogs and the blogosphere.

We have Torill Mortensen, who is the representative of weblogs as
social and cultural texts and techniques thus linking to the domain
of research. Jörg Kantel and Peter Praschl are representing the
German speaking bloggery and partly the technological as well as the
journalistic or more aesthetic aspects of weblogging. Clay Shirky
represents the domain of social software, usability, trends and usage
of web technology.

All of the committee are bloggers themselves with one exception, Clay
Shirky, who is nonetheless present on the web through his writings
and as a group-blogger on Corante.

Please submit a proposal, spread the word of this unique conference,
and come to meet us in Vienna, Austria. The conference will be held
in the first days of July. Details coming up soon.

Thanks for listening
