Thread: LinuxWorld Open Solutions Summit

Hello,

This is the event that was spawned from the ashes of LinuxWorld Boston.
I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with them. They and I both believe
that this is not a show for us.

Reasons:

1. It is a qualified show, e.g; you can't just pay 10k and go. You have
to be accepted

2. They are only looking at 1000, qualified attendees

3. A 5x5 booth is 10k

4. The target audience is tie wearing people from the fortune 1000 list.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

Yeah, you'd guess there's not anyone with an use for a database on
fortune-1000 companies.  They all use flat files anyway.

Heh :) No of course not. My point was, this is a show for people that
only wear ties, use terms like "Action Items" and "Build a synergetic
alliance of collaborative architectures to bring forth a swell of
support for our homogeneous infrastructure."

You wanna go? ;)
