Is there anything we can do as a group about SCO ?

[David Huerta]

Personally, I believe we should work with IBM to send a letter to the
same businesses SCO did and undo some of the FUD that's been spread
around.  After all, when a businessman considering Linux sees IBM
endorsing it and saying that SCO's just a little runt in its market with
nothing to resort to but weak lawsuits, it could probably help restore a
sense of security into a lot of decision-makers.

LOL  I would do that if we could get a good amount of people to also!
Its only in las vegas, not to far. Mabe we could work something out with
some local LUG's as well.  great idea. If we could stir up things
perhaps we could get some negative media attention on SCO.
