:=Dare we bring it up?  How about it, would it be possible to resurrect 
:=ALS?  What would it take?

- The ALS trademark (assuming it was trademarked by the group that held it)
- Space at a hotel or convention center
- Content such as panels and discussions
- Enough organizational ability to mold the previous three things into a 
  convention.

That's all that's *needed*.  The following would be nice:

- Sponsors (to help defay costs)
- A vendor area/exhibit hall for companies to hawk their wares and a place
  for participants to acquire swag.
- After hours events such as BOF/SIG sessions and a dinner or two for people
  to meet and greet.
