Still reading the linked articles and this one, but shouldn't it be "The dark side of conferences" rather than "The dark side of open source conferences" ? I mean is that a specific reference to the conference being open source ?

Maybe the theory is that in this venue, here at lwn, one may reach more OSS organizers than general conference organizers. So, designating/pressing *them* for undertaking the behavior-policing job may be more effective than complaining about the general population's drunk cavemen.
