talking about it and demo-ing it are entirely different things. I would
rather get some obscured data in there and demo it live (another time)
I wouldn't mind demo-ing a live Horde/IMP/Kronolith/etc. groupware setup
with LDAP with several addressbooks & cyrus-imapd backend, as that has a
ton of 'wow' factor...it's brand new, just went online yesterday. I
think if there were enough early notice, there might be some interest in
a robust open source groupware setup. There are a lot of bells &
whistles. Much like Exchange users, they don't grasp the possibilities
that are at their disposal.
This is the kind of thing that I think might be of interest to a variety
of Linux admins which is really where my head is at. Inkscape is nice
and I've played with it. I understand Adobe Illustrator and don't really
need a demo of it but I can understand that desktop users might be
interested in those kind of things.
