>You spent the money to go to Devcon and attend to all sessions. In my opinion, you are not having your money "protected", when other developers could not have access to news and updates from the site.
Jose,
Youy are talking like there is something at the site that is of vlaue to you, there isn't. The site exists for updates to teh code from the sessions. There is no information at the site that is of value to anyone who wasn't at DevCon. There are dozens of sites where folks are posting descriptions of the sessions and photographs from Devcon. Those sites are not private.
The private site is only being used to post updates to the sessions notes and code examples.
