 which begs the question (bringing things back to a positive note) -
so thank you to mike for raising this so that the idea can come about:
why the heck don't we set up some sort of journal / conference at some
point?  or find a suitable existing conference and ask them if they'd
like to run a track.  fosdem2016 or something.  fosdem's big enough
(but might also be too big already).
