I agree that a conference would be difficult to do without sponsorship but I'm skeptical that there would be enough response for one without either a broader subject matter (i.e. include non-lds FOSS projects) or some sort of direct sponsorship of individuals to brind them all together. Unless I'm totally off base here, I can only imagine that most of the contributors would be outside Utah. --Robert
