Anyone in the LA area for SIGGRAPH. Here is a form for free exhibits + passes. I'm going to go on MONDAY AUG 9. If anyone is there, then we could do a BOFA on INKSCAPE, or just meetup for some rip-off expensive lunch or supper in rip-off-cost land.

I've been looking for a convention we use as a recurring standard for Inkscape. It'd be nice to get enough of us (at least, in the U.S.) together in one place once a year to hack, chat, present, and plan.
I'd look for a convention that... * Is reasonably cheap * Is equally (in)convenient for all (centrally located) * Has an Open Source/Applications/Graphics focus * Has other geekily interesting stuff to do
This one caught my eye:
Linucon (October, 3 days - Austin, Texas - $20-45 reg, hotel $75/night) http://www.linucon.org/ - Mix of Open Source and Sci Fi / RPG. Guests include Eric Raymond, Steve Jackson, Howard Tayler of Novell/SuSE/Ximian, and Wil Wheaton. BOF's, LAN party's, art show, computer vendors, and LARP. So Kees could bring his Storm Trooper outfit *and* get OSDL to foot the bill, and mental could show off his Lunar8 comic and Inkscape and be doubly on topic. ;-)
There's also a similar Penguicon in Michigan in April. http://www.penguicon.org/
For something a bit more serious oriented there's a 2-day Desktop Linux Summit in San Diego in April, an OS/FS conference in Toronto in May, and the O'Reily Open Source convention here in Portland. There's also a bunch in Europe and one in Sydney, but that's a bit too long of a flight for me.
Anyway, if anyone else is interested, I think it'd be fun to pick a convention to try to get together at, and make it an annual event.

Yeah, I agree. I vote on OSCON, but the one in AUSTIN would be good as well.

If you can get there by Wed, I can meet you too! (I'll be in Las Vegas on that Thursday...)

OK. Count me in.
I'm all registered and set.
However... I'm going with the cheap freebee reg. But it does cover BOF at least. So I'll be kicking around then (especially since I drive right next to the convention center on my way to work).
