I'm forwarding this in the hope that someone from the area mentioned
might be interested in responding or in attending.  If anyone does so,
please send your response to this mailing list too.  If I don't see any
messages to Jill in a day or two I'll compose something myself, but I'd
prefer that someone closer to the scene (I'm in Pennsylvania) answer
her.  Also, does anyone know what ITEC is?  The talk about industry
segments leads me to think that it's an organization that runs computer
expos targetted at commercial interests.

> I coordinate several of the ITEC events across the US.  This spring in Indianapolis, Indiana, we are attempting to put together a pavilion in our event to showcase all facets of Linux.  We are looking to showcase commerce as well as associations and education.  I am e-mailing you to get a better idea of how to approach these above mentioned industry segments.  What are some common issues facing those within the Linux community?  Are these issues something that could be addressed by getting in front of 8-10,000 buying team members from every major industry segment?  In the past, have trade shows or expos been an effective venue for showcasing Linux services and education?  What traditionally have been the major points of education for Linux? Any problems getting that desired message out there?
