[Dallan Quass]

I agree with Dan.  One of the best things that could happen at the Family
History Workshop or a Church-sponsored open-source conference would be to
set time aside for "birds-of-a-feather" sessions, where people interested in
the same area could get to know each other, share ideas, make plans to work
together, etc.
