This is a little OT, but I wonder: might this not be better targeted at the Plumbers Conference in Portland? It's very much an ecosystem topic, which I imagine would be a good fit (see http://lwn.net/Articles/319215/ ). Assuming it was a fit, then there could actually be a microconf track devoted to the topic. Since Plumbers is explicitly a developer oriented conference, and is doubling up with LinuxCon, it might be that more potential interested parties are at that conference than OLS. (Speaking personally at least, if I manage to make it to just one of these, then Plumbers is probably the more likely of the two.)
