It would be really nice to have a big, professional presence rather than a few people spread out in shonky boothes... Economic symbiosis :) I think FreeBSD should flaunt: o Stability o Security o Price o Upgradability (sup, cvs, etc.) o User base (cdrom.com, yahoo.com, whistle, etc.) o Performance (comapared to Linux, NT, etc.) We could also give mini-clinics and do forth. Who do we contact for details? (Dates, location, costs, space available, etc.)? I remember getting the brochure for the one that just past, but I don;t think I still have it.
