wherein *every* free-software conference in the world takes place
in August? I mean really people. I'm missing out on at least three
events -- meaning I would like to provide news coverage of them --
because they're all piled on top of one another.
I know how hard it is from a planning perspective; I work on TXLF.
But I can also see the wikis of most of these events' planning
teams, where people kick things off with "how about sometime in
August?" For example:

Just don't. There are dozens of other months to choose from.
