Lars said about the same as I did before the comment from the
audience--namely, that their community seemed split with some in favor
of a combined conference and some against, with logistics of pulling
off such an event looking pretty daunting.

After the comment from the audience about the Linux Foundation
existing to help with things like this, we were all kind of surprised
(we just hadn't thought of that, or at least I hadn't) and we just sat
there thinking about it.  None of us really commented further.  I
think someone just asked a question on a different topic after this.

We also didn't discuss it separately afterward (I'm almost certainly
the wrong person to discuss it having never helped organize a
conference and having no desire to do so), so we don't really have any
resolutions or even official places to discuss further.  *shrug*
