Well, yes, that's why I brought it up on the mailing list.  Otherwise, I would
have just done it, grabbed all the glory and potential consulting work for
myself, and said not a word to LUAU.  I noticed that yours, Chris, was the only
response in 3 days.  Maybe everyone else is too busy discussing LUAUs new
organizational structure ;-)

Seriously, if LUAU as a group is interested in putting this on, the time to do
it is NOW.  Friday's advertiser just put out a half page article on linux in
it's business section.  If we as a group can't come up with something concrete
within the next week, I will do it on my own.  I have some experience putting
on this sort thing, a little cash to throw at advertising, and one or two
potential free or low cost venues.

This could be a potential big win for Linux, LUAU, anyone who presents at it,
and businesses that attend, in the form of progress towards total world
domination; publicity, increased membership, and respect; lucrative consulting
contracts; and a operating system that won't crash if you look at it funny,
respectively.

If anyone on the mailing list is interested in helping, it's robot roll call
time, in MyST3000 terms.  Also, if anyone has any big issues with this being a
LUAU thing, sound off now and give me an excuse to have this all to myself ;-)
