Be sure to pick the Free option when you get to that part. Or look over the conference program and sign up cheap. Note that Bill McGonigle posted a discount code good for LUG members (yes, you are a member - you're reading the email list, right?). The discount makes a single-day session $315 vice $395, but rates go up on the 10th. Note that there are simultaneous LinuxWorld and OpenSolutionsWorld conferences, and their schedules are listed separately. I'm considering a paid attendance for the 5th (TWiki.org and database presentations), and maybe volunteering on the 6th. Note, too, that the conference has moved from the Hynes to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. LPI will be there offering free cert tests for paid attendees and half-price tests for Expo-only attendees. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: LinuxWorld Expo Booth Volunteers
Executive summary: - We need warm bodies - An exhibit pass is *FREE* - You wanted to go to LinuxWorld anyway - Did I mention *FREE*? So, since you've decided you want to help, you need to register for the free pass.

Go to the following URL: > http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12BOS06A 2. Click "Register" in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. 3. Click the purple "Register Today" graphic that appears in the middle of the page. 3. Click any "Register Now!" link in the table (they're all the same) 4. Follow the prompts.

Session-only cookies worked for me. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
