I think if we could create a flexible and in-depth presentation to use with such gatherings, it would generate a lot of interest. Business leaders who are examining the bottom line, their business' security and the overall efficiency of their information infrastructure are allured by the idea of FreeBSD when there is a support contract involved. One of the main myths Microsoft pushes is that (most) open source comes with no support, but this is not the case! Many companies (including mine) help a lot of clients with their various FreeBSD and other open source needs. If we can dispel this myth and give other convincing reasons for migration or adoption, I think we'll be very successful. -- Best wishes, Alexander G.

The free event will be on April 30 in Bellingham, Washington, USA. The last two years had estimated attendance of over 1000 open source and Unix users (each year). http://www.linuxnorthwest.org/ This year, we have been given openings for four lectures. Are you interested in giving a presentation or lecture with a BSD angle? One idea is to have one of the lectures be an "Intro to BSD" with a panel discussion. Would you be interested in helping with it? Or are you interested in helping at the booth? Or we can request an additional booth for NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly, or other BSD. Or are you able to prepare or provide flyers or other handouts? Please let me know. By the way, if you are in the Puget Sound area, please consider joining the Seattle-area BSD Users Group BUG mailing list and participating at our monthly meetings. http://www.SeaBUG.org/ Thanks!
