I agree, my original thought was to tack onto other conferences for
example, LinuxWorld West runs tue-thu, we run our conference "in"
Linuxworld West by actually have a booth that people can sit at and talk
to us, then on Friday we host a series of talks etc... or something.

That allows us to reach out to people who don't know about us, including
informing them of something that is happening at the very end of the show.

Western US is a good idea, we have *alot* of potential community members
on this side.
