Guys again sorry for using this forum for general discussion, but a word about acquiring a location for any type of get together, my wife works with the Red Lion Hotel and may be able to have us use their ballroom at a substantial discount as long as this will be a "non profit" event. Let me know!!!! I can help,!!! romp-a-omp-a-chomp- romp-a-omp-a-chomp!!!!!
John R Ibarra >>> Jim Westbrook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7/15/2004 12:05:01 AM >>> Hi, I suppose an introduction is in order before I get to the real subject. I am Jim Westbrook, the current President of Austin Linux Group. Now, on to the topic for discussion. There will not be an ITEC show in Austin this year. There is a new outfit setting up a similar show for late this year, but the organizer has indicated that booth space will cost $995.00 for a 10x10. I don't know about any other group's budget status, but that figure is far beyond the scope of ALG's coffers. Perhaps it is time for the Austin Unix/Linux groups to collectively organize a one-day "infofest" for lack of another term. It could give each group a chance to "toot their own horn" and to publicly display how both OSS and its users can work together effectively. This is only in the discussion stage, so here's some items that we'd need to get it off the ground. A location -- perhaps one of the hotel ballroom/meeting space sites A date and time -- I have received a suggestion from an ALG member that just before the start of the school year might be a good time. A theme -- interoperability? Presentations -- open to suggestions Network -- both wired and wireless Volunteers -- LOTS of them :) OK, folks, what do you think? Can we do this in such a short timeframe? Please use the new [EMAIL PROTECTED] for posts on this matter. It's a new list, but it seems like the perfect place for this kind of discussion.
