Last year, I ran a booth and gave a lecture about BSD at LinuxFest in Bellingham, Washington, USA. I handed out many CDs from Wasabi Systems and FreeBSD Mall. And showed some examples and answered various questions. Approximately 350-400 people attended and probably over 100 came up to the booth. The event is being held in between Seattle and Vancouver BC. It is a full day. It is free. And it will have many lectures, classes, and booths. More information at: http://linuxnorthwest.com/ http://linuxnorthwest.com/pr2003.html http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/04/12/1742220 (last year) This year, the event is being organized by several Linux users groups, has larger facilities and has several big names in the Linux and open source community giving lectures. Some organizers are expecting more than 1000 to attend. I have already registered for a booth for BSD advocacy and have a few Pacific Northwest BSD users volunteering to assist. (Also, I am giving a 45 minute lecture again.) Also, Wasabi Systems and FreeBSD Mall already sent me many CDs to hand-out. (Anyone want to supply OpenBSD CDs?) We are still looking for a few volunteers to randomly stand at the booth, maybe have example systems, and to provide brochures to handout and to print posters. Anyone in the Pacific Northwest area interested in helping promote FreeBSD? Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/
