"Me too"

While I wouldn't like us to have conferences running 6 times a year,
certainly having another conference (or 2) with a specific focus 6
months after LCA would be a very good next step.

I think the current problem of "Yikes!  How can we squeeze all this
good stuff into one week of LCA" would be solved if there was another
conference, but with a narrower focus, held 6 months later.
