Well... Froscon may be the most appropriate one, as far as the
audience goes. Anyway, it occurred to me that next year there is the
Chaos Communication Camp in Finowfurt, near Berlin, August
10th-14th[1]. Three years ago it was an incredible and unique event,
even though more related to hacking in general than to linux and free
software.

It could still be and interesting thing, I don't know. Maybe, if dates
match a bit, we could do both, one as ArchCon and the other as an
informal meeting. I'll surely be at CCC, providing the camp with
Italian Grappa[2] like last time ;-)
