moin, moin, ITEC is doing Linux and Broadband this year. As such they've offered PLUG a free booth at the show. We can also get tons of free tickets, but those are easy to get anyway :). Anyway, it's 10:00 to 16:00 the first two days of November (Wed and Thu) and they try to target IT doobies. Marty@VikingSystems.com has volunteered to help us organize a showing there. Please contact Marty to volunteer :). This is not something PLUG has to participate in, rather it is something we've been invited to and we can do so if we have members willing to volunteer their time to make it happen. Having an empty booth is not a good way to do this. Opnix launches the first night of the tradeshow or I'd help out. If we do well, we might be able to make it an annual thing, which would be great for PLUG publicity and also give us a chance to show the vendors who donate SWAG for our monthly meetings that we're out promoting Linux in the valley. Please let us know if you have any ideas aside from having people stand around a table laden with flyers to answer questions. We are going to try to get some SWAG from vendors, but that's not a done deal. The most important aspect is that we get PLUG members to commit to helping out. Great excuse to go and wander around collecting SWAG from other tables during breaks ;-). http://www.goITEC.com/ ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # It's up to the reader to make the book interesting. # An author has only the opportunity to make it uninteresting. - der.hans
