Is there any group elsewhere doing something along the lines of what you
have in mind?  Either in Linux or other issues?  It helps sometimes, to
point to an example or to build your concept based upon templates you see
elsewhere.  My first thought is "uhm, PLUG".. but of course I'm thinking
"well, PLUG may be too technical for a 'business forum'..." but if this
forum is only for people who sell Linux [stuff] [to businesses] then, it
is a forum for the techs, [and tech salespeople] so then... is there a
need for another networking/education organization?  Are you talking about
monthly meetings or a yearly demoday/convention/conference type thing? A
one-time or occasional event is what I feel when I hear "Business Forum." 
Obviously, a "Linux Business Forum" could be marketed differently than a
"Linux Users Group" to business people, etc. but I'm not exactly sure what
you have in mind.
