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.
