The article mentions that the two vendors colluded to skip the show.

I thought the choice of the new conference center hurt their chances  
of attracting attendees. And that the promotion for the show was weak.

It's a real disappointment; there's a lot of Open Source activity in  
New England and not having a show lowers its visibility.
