Actually I really meant to go further and contrast the OSCON to what 
is going on elsewhere. I mean the OSCON is holding an "invitation only" 
"O'Reilly Summit on Open Source Strategies". Some of the people attending
this "Summit" are quite well know in the community and seem rather 
unconcerned, again the attitude is "let the EFF do it". 

So again thnks Seth for providing the backdrop I was intending to 
paint the OSCON against.
