I don't think that would work. All 3 have very different ideas, and I 
know there is no love lost between Stallman and Raymond.  It would 
certainly be an excellent meeting,  what I am proposing is a much 
different venue. I would like to see a real world presentation targeted 
at both the small business owner who certainly can save a lot of money 
by switching to OpenSource software, but also to the end desktop user. 
The problem with RMS, Eric, and Bruce is that they are all very 
technical, and while many of our members are techies, I'm also looking 
for something to try to attract others. 

But, if we could make that happen we certainly would get a 100+ 
attendance.
