Thanks for the clarifications. While it may be true that ALS would have gone belly-up anyway along with so many other innocent bystanders to the dot-com bust, I think a the decision to take "ALS" on the road, and out of the U.S. southeast, was a fundamental mistake. Some of the poorest parts of the U.S. are in the southeast region, and in this time of economic recession, cash-strapped businesses, school districts, universities, and even government bureaus need GNU/Linux more than ever to attain independence from M$ licensing servitude. I admit that my perspective is only informed by what I perceive as opportunities for Free Software (and Debian Developers), and that I understand little of the economics of running a trade show. -- G.
