Yeah, sounds great, let's go for it! :-)

Anyone have a good idea for a venue?

One other thing a bit like it a month before is this:

- AktiviX II - Another System is Possible! 

  10-12th September 2004 -- Sheffield, England

  A weekend for environmental / animal rights / peace / social
  justice / anti-capitalist campaigners / activists and cultural
  creatives to get to know GNU/Linux, each other, and to discuss
  political strategies and actions around Information and
  Communication Technology

  http://wiki.aktivix.org/AktiviX:AktiviX_II

I'm sure that SlugBug imput would be appreciated for this :-)
