I think the non-profit-expo organizers can do a better job of
describing their intentions than I can.  Hopefully they'll have an
announcement soon.  It is my understanding that they want to have
non-profits see what F/LOSS can do for them.  The folks behind that
expo are names I recognize from this list and other F/LOSS
communities.

But how about us?  What other events would we all like to see as part
of Toronto Open Source Week?  Anybody care to set up something?  How
about a BarCamp-like event for packagers?
