  Well.  This is much more then a LUG meeting.  A "work shop" is usually a
class-room-like atmosphere.  So neither of those are it.  I think a "trade
show" is usually a bit more technical and task-oriented then this.  So let us
rule out those three, leaving conference and symposium.

  My dictionary defines a "symposium" first as a "conference", so I'm not sure
of the distinction Linux Events is making.  But given the entomology of
symposium as Latin for "drinking party", I vote we go with that.  ;-)
