Well, we could probably set up something small this year, but it's kind of late for a big shindig. (Though my wife does work at Sysco, and we can buy all sorts of party food wholesale...) I think the 10BaseT party would be have every Linux user that can be mustered ping something at microsoft.com en masse all day.
