By any chance was the JavaOne circus back in the days that ".com" marketers 
would arrange planning meetings in Cancun, that Nortel stock was in the $80 
range (now $0.45), and technology was a promising career? :-/  The Sun 
marketing group probably footed the bill for that show. 

I like the idea of a show put on by "cash-strapped user's group[s]". A 
combined linux/BSD installfest, wireless demo, video/sound demo, robo wars, 
business-on-Linux, meat+/- cookout, live music event that raises funds for a 
charity like computers for schools or West-Nile-free blood.

The larger purpose of the economic order, including Wall Street, is to 
support the material conditions for human existence, not to undermine and 
destabilize them.
