... in case you think LinuxAsia '07 is something dedicated to GNU, Linux, Software Freedom, sure. But in case of a purely commercial event sponsored by Micro$oft, may be not.

But GNU isn't a community. GNU is an (as yet incomplete) operating system.
I am not sure that is entirely accurate. There has long been a community effort around gcc, emacs, gas, bison -- long before there was Linux, actually, and even before BSD 4.4 lite was released. The FSF seeds various communities (FSF Europe, for one, comes to mind), which are fairly vibrant, and quite productive.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said of the HURD.
