LGM is pretty big, are you so sure it would be very small?
I'm not even sure of my own existence.
I would be very happy if there was a linux video tools conference and that its developer participants were not a small number. It would be a very interesting challenge to make the case to a large existing group for an editor application that met our technical and legal needs. I'd find a way to have Karsten, but wear my name tag and say everything I'd say..but friendly-like.
