To keep unified we may also want to direct all media (press) to our spokespersons which I believe are Jayce, Evan and Soren. I know that they have been preparing statements and responses to any comments from SCO. So if someone asks you about something and it's obvious that they are media, direct them to the spokespersons. It will be better to have a prepared quote misquoted than an unprepared quote misquoted.Ok, this is a little bit of reminder of what is going on in a few hours and explaining how to get there.
First of all, I went to SCOpe out the area where we are going to be at. It's in
a pretty open area with A LOT of parking. The sidewalk is also 15ft from the building, so they should be able to read our signs very easily. In other words,
this place is great for picketing. :-)
The official event is from 3 to 5pm, but we are going to be meeting at 2:30 in two places before we go there. It might be best to quote Soren here:
----
If you don't want to show up on your own, we will meet at 2:30 pm at one of two locations:
- Provo High School parking lot, in front of the main entrance
- Parking lot of Home Depot in Lindon (right off the I-15 entrance).
I will be at the former location, Evan McNabb at the latter. If you live south of BYU campus in Provo and don't want to walk to Provo High, I can come get you around 2:00. Email me.
----
If you're going directly to the SCO offices it's easy to get to. Thank you SCO for telling us where to go:

I really hope we have a good size crowd today. We've contacted almost all the TV stations and newspapers in Utah and they are interested in hearing our view on the story. We might even have someone from California coming out to be with us (he
is coming out here for something else but might move his flight up to join the demonstration). :-)
Once again, we need to follow the rules we have been given and should remember
we are representing the Open Source community. Also, as a reminder, BYU is fine
with us doing this but they don't want their name attached to the protest. So don't say anything about BYU at the event and leave your BYU basketball jersey
and your blue & white pom-poms at home. :-)
Well, I better get to work on my sign; it's going to be a big one!
I hope to see you all there...
-Evan
