Is it time for a Maxima Users Conference? San Jose CA

I was not talking about GoToMeeting or any specific product that you would have to buy.  Users can listen with IE or 
another web browser, only the people who want to speak would probably have to buy web conferencing solutions software 
like GoToMetting or one of it's competitors.  There may even be open source versions for free but I have not checked.
