Next message: Tom Yarrish: "Re: [LUNI] "drag a friend, drag a boss""
<engage ra mode)
In the spirit of doing what is right for Linux and Open source I am
continuing to try "making lemonade out of lemons", on this Comdex situation.
I would ask that members of LUGs in the Midwest "drag a friend, drag a boss"
to the expo and get them exposed to Open Source. There are 30 some odd
unix/open source/linux vendors, with 19 calling themselves "Linux
Companies." Although that is a lower showing from last year, I believe it
is more than attended Spring Comdex in 1999.
I do not know if the next event in Chicago is going to be a revived Linux
Business Expo, or if Linux World will step forward. The fact remains
though, if the vendors have a bad feeling about Chicago, no event will
happen in the future.
Please take a proactive role in going to the event if you can and TELL the
vendors that you appreciate their comming and that they should not judge
Chicago and the Chicago Linux community by this event.
So, please "drag a friend, drag a boss" who is not a present Linux user to
the expo. I will do what I can to see if I can get that party funded.
Thanks
Jeff Gerhardt
