Alright, it's that time again, time for us to prepare for LinuxWorld Expo in beautiful San Francisco, CA, USA!! This year (in a rare US appearance) featuring "LIVE AND IN PERSON" (and all the way from Sydney Australia), our Fearless Leader, Ken Yap, himself!!! (now you MUST attend! :-) This is our second LinuxWorld Expo, and you can check out a report from our first one at: http://www.thinguin.org/linuxworldny2001/ It's a great show, and it's a lot of fun to meet people, demonstrate Etherboot and thin/diskless client technology. (and there are even other vendor, booths, and talks to check out, I hear :-) The LinuxWorld Expo site is at: http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/ and of course the Etherboot site is at: http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/ At the first show, we shared a booth with LTSP (http://www.ltsp.org/) . At this show, both LTSP and Etherboot have their own booths!! This is great because we will be able to reach more people and demo more neat stuff that can be done. Now, because this is of course an all-volunteer effort, we are asking for volunteers to help at the booth, and to visit us, and to bring us refreshments so we don't lose our voices as fast from all the questions and demos :-) We have some free exhibits-only passes to LinuxWorld Expo, and if you send me your postal address, I will mail you a pass to the exhibit hall (a $25 value!! :-) I've also reactivated the etherboot-tradeshow-talk list. If you'd like to subscribe, send a message to: req...@li... with body subscribe etherboot-tradeshow-talk and you'll be on the list. This should be a fun show, and to give you some idea of how it goes, the exhibit hall at LinuxWorld Expo (http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/) is open: Tue, Aug 28, 2001 10:00-18:00 (6pm) Wed, Aug 29, 2001 10:00-18:00 (6pm) Thu, Aug 30, 2001 10:00-16:00 (4pm) The Etherboot Project booth is #269 and the LTSP (#367) is just around the corner. Too bad we don't have wireless PCMCIA Etherbooting working yet :-) So that's a beginning. I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about in the coming month before the show. Even if you can't make it to the show, visit us vicariously on the web. If possible we'll have a webcam going at the show again. We're also looking for any ideas for the booth. We will likely have a server and two demo thin clients, of course the 4x8 ft banner, and the webcam, and (did I mention) KEN YAP, ALIVE AND IN PERSON? :-) World Domination... and fast! :-) Marty --- Try: http://rom-o-matic.net/ to make Etherboot images instantly.
