[PLUG] 2nd Annual "Business, meet Linux" Event, Xandros LUG discount code

["Brian Colgan" <brianc@xandros.com>]

Chris-
Sure, Xandros would love to participate again this year, let me know
what you need.

I would think a good presentation would be to take a business process
currently done in Windows, say email, show what components in linux
could duplicate the functionality, and then show the bottom line
differences.

By the way, with Xandros 3.0 Deluxe Edition out almost a month now, I
have been remiss in handing out the 45% LUG Deluxe discount codes to
everyone in PLUG. Use these links:

Chris, I've sent you the links to download an eval copy of the Xandros

feel we have a winner here and need to get it out to the business
community.

Last March my company sponsored an event we dubbed "Business, meet
Linux." It was an opportunity for area businesses to learn about Linux
and OSS and what it could offer their business. We are thinking about
holding it or something like it again. Last year we got a lot of
Technical people, which was not our intended audience. This year we'd
like to try to get more business people out and we are interested to see
how to go about doing that.

I was wondering what members of this list thought, particularly:

- What presentations/topics would compel business people to attend?
- If you went last year what did you think? What could we do better?
- Would you or your business like to participate this year?


Thanks
