Re: Linux Desktop Summit



Very large *block* of salt...

In my case, they advertised me as a speaker without the common
courtesy of a piece of mail asking or a phone call.

When I "backed out" it took about 3 tries to get them to take
my name of their site.

Don't believe a word they say if this is sponsored by the Lindows
folks....

Yes, I believe there was some bad history there with Ximian cancelling 
because the whole conference was really about "Lindows" rather than Linux 
Desktops.  So, yes I suppose we should approach this with a grain of salt.  

Others might remember the whole thing better than me.  But point well 
taken.

Folks, if this thing is run by the Lindows folks, be *very* careful.

My experience with this thing, if it is indeed the same meeting, 
left an amazingly sour taste in my mouth.

Leslie,

Thanks for the follow up.

Should I put something out in Gnome Summary?  Apparently we have a lot of 
eager people out there who do want to help.  I asked for web developers 
and I got 11 who volunteered.   It might be a good bet to get people in 
the LA area to organize something.

Hi Sri:

I've contacted them to see if they'd be willing to
donate a booth to us.  Am awaiting an answer.

The Call for Speakers is open and I'd encourage
everyone who could be at the conference to submit a
speaker proposal.  It's on the web site under "Speaker
Registration"  The deadline is April 2nd -
HOWEVER...it's always better to get in early than to
push the deadline.  The choice speaking slots go fast.

Anyone submitting:  It would be nice to let the list
know when you submit and what subject you proposed.

Best,
Leslie Proctor
