Re: [seul-edu] LinuxWorld Conference & Expo planning

[Bill Ries-Knight <brk@slip.net>]

In our owrld of ASP orientation, this could be useful.  Has
anyone else had a chance to use it? I do think it would be
nice to have an English translation.

Along this subject line, is it possible for the project
leaders to put together a simple HTML document describng the
project, current pecieved application of the project and a
few screen shots?  If we can get a fairly good number of
these "mini websites, perhaps someome can build up a demo CD
to load in the local machines, and, perhaps (if we can get a
cd burner on-site) we can burn a few disks for distribution,
assuming there is an interest in the disk.  I should be able
to donate about 100 Maxell 80/700 CDR's for this.

Colette, Could you consider helping with this?  


Thanks 
Bill
