I have often thought of putting on a conference. The big problem of
course is funding, and the other problem is time to organize it. 8-) I
don't think anyone wants a half-assed conference; it would be nice to
have some facilities for presentations, demos, and such. The advent of
wireless means it would be quite trivial to provide a network that
allows you to connect to a presentation server with your laptop.

A good companion conference might by YAPC North America, this year
scheduled for scenic Buffalo, NY. I had already planned on going this
year...the benefit for YAPC is the low cost ($85) and probable
availability of additional conference space (summer schedule) at the
University at Buffalo.
