I agree with Derek's assessment of the message and I also believe it would be a good thing to get government using Linux. I think the one thing missing so far is the call to specific action. Perhaps you could invite them to send some of their IT staff to some of the free Linux training sessions put on by the group. This would start a dialog and start building some relationships, which are necessary before any level of trust or confidence will emerge. These IT managers will switch to Linux only when they are confident that they know who will support them in their decision and that those people are competent to ensure their success. -- Phil Mattison Ohmikron Corp. 480-722-9595 ext. 1 602-820-9452 mobile --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
