Advocacy is really the wrong word ... support is probably better.

Indeed.  That's why I can't go into a whole lot now.  I can't keep doing 
it as-is and I can't expect volunteers to help a for-profit (at least in 
theory) operation.  And I don't want to see it just go away.

But a community-supported operation that's run by the community -- 
that's something doable.  If everyone out there was able to collaborate 
year-round in a sort of perpetual virtual conference, then there'd be 
much more material to share and much more momentum.
