No. I get it. Ohio Linuxfest started, and is today, a grass roots, all volunteer organized conference. Has been since it's inception. It's free to attend, and not one person takes a salary from it. It also happens to have grown into the largest volunteer organized Open Source conference in the Midwest. So, yes, I'm VERY familiar with the concept of grass roots, raising sponsors and all aspects of managing and putting on a tradeshow. It's been my "hobby" as one of the key organizers of OLF and one of the ways that I contribute back to the community. If you believe that you are capable of putting on a grass roots Astricon styled show, then by all means go for it. You apparently have a location in mind, which is a start. How do you think you'll proceed? Please let the list know if there is anything that you need. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
