I'll be starting graduate school on the 22nd, so I'm planning on not 
attending LinuxCon, but I'd be happy to assist as a swag-production 
minion should you so choose - it sounded like last year was good stuff.

One thing I don't have a good handle on - how does LinuxCon differ from 
something like... say... OSCON, except for being focused on Linux? My 
long-distance impression (possibly mistaken): It's a rather professional 
and large-scale event with a bunch of industry-esque topics but a pretty 
good proportion of technically skilled people - but people walk around 
in collared shirts, etc. rather than t-shirts, you don't see hallway 
hackathons, and so forth.

I'm curious where this fits into the TOS events profile and whether it 
makes a nice alt.OSCON for those who can't make it to Portland but want 
a similar type of venue.
