Most cross-platform GUIs that don't suck actually try to mimic their host environment to some extent. So the only real difference is in the structure of the GUI itself.

yes and no. Yes for alexs argument, I actually think you need some money to make a somewhat sized conference, even if it's run by volunteers.
