Keep - Clicking on the Google news link above, it is apparent that their conferences are certainly notable. Much news to be found of product announcements at these. I suppose that's not direct notability but when someone reads on of these announcements, they may be curious about IDUG and it would be nice to have an article here on WP for them. --Kvng (talk) 16:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
