    for downstream, there's the SUSE
    conference or the Fedora Flock;

To cooperate formally with the SUSE conference would pose an ethical
problem because SUSE contains lots of nonfree software.

To have the event in proximity to the SUSE conference, without
any public relationship with it, would not have such a problem.

                                    for accessing the commercial side
    there's the Linux Foundation.

To cooperate formally with a Linux Foundation event would run into a
problem -- they would probably want to call the GNU/Linux system
"Linux", and we should not accept that.

However, having the event in proximity to one of their events,
without any public relationship, would not have such a problem.
