I'm speaking at All Things Open tomorrow (register now for free). I'm talking about how New Relic went open source.

I like speaking at events and conferences, especially if I know the topic well. I think it's exciting and sometimes fun. I know that most people don't share my perspective on speaking at events.

So I want to know...

• What is it about speaking at events that you don't like? What deters you? What stops you from submitting a CFP?
• Or, if you have never even considered it, why haven't you?
