The emphasis was on "not enough" - at least if you want to reach an

If you ask me I would have joined LSM to meet developers of free medical

You are right - the events are quite different but former LSM - LinuxTag

At least you can find a certain amount of people her on this list.

more if I would have known this in March.

Hmmm, well, I'm happy that you appended the smiley so I do not have to quote
