Right, should we respond, it will be on the basis of using a  
professional organizer, professional venue <http:// 
victoriaconference.com/> <http://www.westinbayshore.com/ 
meetings.html>, etc, which might not be to the taste of OSGEO.   
Basically, I decided on reflection and careful remembrance of Dave's  
and Steve's haggard faces at their respective conferences that I was  
not interested in martyring myself to the cause of putting on a  
conference -- there are people who know how to handle all the  
details, and I want one of those people.  At this point, due to the  
lateness of the process, the venue might not even be available, which  
will make things even easier for me. :)
