Bonsoir Monsieur Labrouche!

Wonderful! I look forward to setting up and meeting you at the Expo. We'll

Bonsoir Monsieur St. Onge

It will be my pleasure to welcome you at the Linux Expo North America, in
the Linux Generation space. You will have a 10x10 with power and internet
connection. I'll just ask you to make your booth as alive as possible during
the expo, and as much as possible, to invite people to visit us at
www.linuxexpocanada.com.

I look forward seeing you in montreal.

Best regards

Importance: High


Bonjour Monsieur Labrouche!

Mme. Roy's email below regarding the upcoming Linux Expo Ameriques 2000
Conference was sent some time ago, and we are eagerly looking forward to
your response.

SEUL.ORG and the SEUL/edu Project are volunteer, non-profit organizations
dedicated to fostering the development of free, high quality Open Source
software for Linux in general and especially for use in education. Although
SEUL is based out of MIT in Boston, our members are dispersed throughout the
world in many countries.

We are really looking forward to displaying the many applications that our
project has hosted over the last two years, and we look forward to doing so
as part of the .ORG pavillion at the April Linux Expo. We trust that these
booths will have electrical and internet connectivity, as we will have an
X-server/X-terminal demonstration of our software at the booth.

Our group has been accepted to speak in the Linux and Education track, and
the presentation we have planned will make substantial reference to our
applications. We are fortunate to have numerous applications to mention
during the presentation, but unfortunately the sheer number of these
applications means that we cannot effectively present them during the talk
and thus we will be refering people to the booth. One of our members from
France will be coming, and another is planning to come from British
Columnbia to assist with the booth and presentation.

I am in Montreal, and please feel free to contact me at home (pete@seul.org,
514-272-1559) if it will faciliate the arrangements. I would also be most
pleased to meet with you at your earliest convenience if that will help.

Looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience, I remain,

Sincerely,

Pete St. Onge

Hello,

Thanks for your mail, we didn't forget you and our VP is now in France, I
will ask him to reply to you upon his return.

I didn't know that you wanted to do a talk though...I don't know if it is
still possible, maybe Stephane can let you know.  I know we talk about doing
something with lINUX and the SCHOOL but since it is an international
comittee who decides of the subjects they are taking, I don't know what they
have decided (Stephane, would you know?)

Sorry for the delay but we have been in an out the office travelling a lot.

We will give you an answer very fast.

See you in MOntreal :-))

Andrea

Madame Roy,

I just wanted to follow up on our previous emails. You mentioned that
coordinator of the .ORG and LUG participation was going to email me about
SEUL/edu's participation in the upcoming LEA2K conference, but I have yet to
receive a reply from that person.

We are really looking forward to presenting our project at your conference
in Montreal, and I am concerned that we may have been overlooked.

I trust that this is not the case, and look forward to your confirmation,

Cheers,

Pete
