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. :)
