This one could be for the events calendar too. Yes it is Linux, but there is a FreeBSD stable. Tent. Table. Whatever... The call is yours. ----- Forwarded message from Trevor Johnson <trevor@jpj.net> ----- Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 03:37:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Trevor Johnson <trevor@jpj.net> Subject: Southern California Linux Expo Last year, Eric Melville, Gordon Tetlow, Kris Kennaway and I I came to this conference. A space was provided for us, complete with tables, chairs, electricity, and a connection to the Internet. The FreeBSD Mall provided some CD-ROMs, DVDs, catalogs and stickers which we gave away. We brought some computers running FreeBSD. It was a good opportunity to hobnob with the Linux (and Open Darwin) folks and with each other. We got free admission to the exhibit area and had time to look at the other exhibitors. Well, there will be another SCALE this year, on November 22nd at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and we have been offered a space again. I'm hoping some other FreeBSD committers, or aficionados, would again like to populate our tables. If you need a place to stay while you're in the area, I probably have the use of the guest room in the very modest--okay, run-down--house where I'm staying now. If you're interested, please let me know (I have to tell the organizers beforehand the names of those who will be there). The exhibit floor will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you can't be there the whole time, that should be fine. If we had some CD-ROMs or other FreeBSD-related goodies to give away again, that would be great too. Last year, we gave away everything that Eric brought from the FreeBSD Mall (courtesy of Murray Stokely), except for some catalogs, as well as a few CD-Rs that we made on the spot. Another thing that would be nice to have would be a booth. Last year, I asked a FreeBSD-related company about borrowing its booth, but the arrangements fell through. Now I have a small truck, so I could pick one up in the Southern California area, if it isn't too big. The SCALE home page is at <URL:http://www.socallinuxexpo.com/>. If you think you might like to attend, it would help if you could give a brief description of anything you'd like to present, because I'm supposed to turn in an abstract of what we'll be doing. -- Trevor Johnson ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/weblog.php
