Hollywood OSCOM? RE: [OSCOM] Is there going to be a U.S. Oscom?

Hello!

With Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft all moving into Hollywood, it could be
fun to have an OSCOM in the entertainment capital at some point.  I know
some people out there--perhaps UCLA would lend a hand, or even the
satellite offices of Yahoo/Google/Microsoft.

A lot of entertainment companies would love to utilize projects &
philosophies featured at OSCOM--robust, dependable, cost-effective, secure
CMS for managing the content they invest so much into.

I imagine Open Source CMS will continue making inroads into managing
content for the entertainment industry--that's the theme of
22surf.org/22surfboard.com/authena.org.

Already Open Source projects such as Linux and Apache are playing key
roles.

OSCOM could probably get some cool sponsors--I've been spending some time
out there and I know some potential candidates--they've got great Linux
& PHP user groups out there too--let me know what you think!

At any rate, I'll look forward to OSCOM wherever it is.

Best,

Elliot
