Icecast should be no problem, but you'll need a good internet 
connection to serve a decent number of streams, as it's unicast I 
think.

There are bound to be expenses. If linuxaudio.org has raised some cash 
by then for sponsorship, then this might be a good thing to spend it 
on - but that funding is by no means guaranteed.

I'm currently working on a fundraising compilation CD, but that's a 
high risk venture of course. I'm currently underwriting that project 
out of my own pocket, as well as the Sounds Expo stand.

Given enough promotion, I think you might be right. The important 
thing at this stage is to set a date and a venue, and stick to it. 

Cheers
