In 2012, Salesforce's huge and wonderful conference, Dreamforce , will be held September 18-21. In 2012, September 18th is the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah , a Jewish High Holiday. I was bummed to be forced to miss out in 2012. Something similar happened a few years back when NTEN scheduled NTC over Passover.
