hi all

if you are thinking of launching at Linux Expo, Richard Ibbotson at ShefLug 
mentioned that he had a stand etc etc

not a bad idea, but as with many expo's, the organisations (rather than 
commercial ones) can look a bit downmarket. Big commitment, especially when 
you are really preaching to the converted. 

i have been talking to EMAP since BETT in January about an open source 
prescence, with a 'village' concept to keep the costs down. Thats the right 
audience.
