To be honest, I think this may be our best bet.  LWCE is very much commercially
oriented; we don't really fit there, or reach the people we're looking for.
Besides, we're essentially preaching to the choir at these shows.  I think our
efforts would be much more useful at educational conferences like FETC, NCEITA,
etc.  After all, the people that attend _those_ sorts of conferences are the ones
who will make the decisions to adopt Linux in the schools, not the people we see at
the various LWCEs.
