This is _really_ interesting, I think we would definitely be interested in helping out arranging such a thing, especially if we could have it in beautiful Telemark next year...? (Norway, Porsgrunn/Skien) We could probably also help fund such a thing, either parts of it directly ourselves or through some kind of "joint venture"...! We've got a LOT of Open Source companies around here where we're located. eZ Systems and Trolltech, plus MySQL is just a couple of hours with ferry away... ;) eZ Conference was held here a couple of months ago in fact, if you Google for the images I think you'll get pretty impressed by the thing... :) We could probably manage to at least come pretty close to that scale for a Mono Summit in Skien at Ibsenhuset next year...? We would _really_ love to host such an event :))) Thomas
