Internet World is a trade show, where vendors peddle their wares. I.e. you'll find the likes of Cisco, Lucent, and a thousand little guys who make various bits of hardware and software crap. It has become traditional for companies like Caldera and Red Hat to show up and give away a few thousand CDROMs. I have manned booths in the past where we were handing them out like candy. (I have since changed my opinion of Linux's position in the free software universe, and am no longer inclined to actively promote it in such a fashion.) I think that FreeBSD would benefit from doing something similar. I am in the New York area, and I am willing to spend a day or two evangelizing FreeBSD at a trade show, particularly if I am provided with literature and/or products to give out. PC Expo is coming to town in June, and Internet World in October. The newly-formed FUNY may be able to get a space. -- Christopher Masto Director of Operations NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
