2009-07-23 Thread Bill Quinn
All

Looking at the Olympia website: Olympia National Hall has an event from
2nd of October, Olympia Two has events on both the 30th and 2nd. Neither
of them are Linux related.

The Linux Expo, as was, typically was at Earls Court in October. This
show changed to CLOUD Expo Europe, at the Barbican (May 2009).

The link which Alan gives links to IDG World Expo who typically run
Linux World Expo in the US, although this was rebranded to OpenSource
World.

So unfortunately I would presume no show in Olympia in October.

Bill

Looks like a duff business events site to me. They seem to have just
scraped data from around the place. They even list entries for the
next 3 years or so.

I just called Olympia and they had no record of the event, and their
website doesn't list it either:-

http://www.eco.co.uk/visitors/whatson/?query=linux
http://www.eco.co.uk/visitors/whatson/?show=all&month=10&year=2009

So looks to me like it's not happening.

Cheers,
Al.

+3 points for using lmgtfy
+2 points for obscuring it via tinyurl
-5 points for top posting
-10 points for not noting that that the subsequent results don't
actually link to any official announcement of there being a UK Linux
World Expo this year.

Grade D - Must try harder next time.

I am more interested if you have anymore information on "LINUXWORLD EXPO
UK 2009" as to my knowledge there is no more Linux related shows for the
rest of 2009.

I have just noticed this expo. Unfortunately I will not be able to
attend these dates.

However, I *had* been intending to try to arrange a community
(village) stand for the INFOPOINT display - some here might know that
I run an infopoint display regularly at bracknell computer fairs. I
believe an 'infopoint' display would be successful at the expo as part
of the Community Village. Infopoint covers all FOSS  but tends to be
relativey heavy on live Linux CDs including Ubuntu.
http://infopointproject.org/wordpress/materials/infopoint-guide/

Question:
Does anyone here feel motivated and able (or know anyone?) to commit
to take my intended place and arrange attend and represent Infopoint?

I have not yet made any arrangements although I will be very happy to
assist in preliminary arrangements under the lead of any volunteer. I
have a lot of materials such as leaflets I use at the computer fairs
and these will be also available for whoever can take it on.

Anyone please?

Note
Infopoint is distinct from a straight 'Ubuntu' stand. Expo organisers
tend to view Ubuntu as commercial on the grounds that it is sponsored.
Unless this changes, this means that Ubuntu may not get a stand in the
'community' village.
