Hello Georges, I was one of the organizers of LFNW...greetings!
This is the correct list.I don't know if anything is planned for LinuxCon, but this is where that sort of thing is discussed. It would be helpful to know what you have in mind. The way we've been operating is that people take on leadership of things that they think are important and then work with the group through the mailing list and the IRC meetings to bring those things into reality.
