LUGOD at LinuxWorld Expo
What is LinuxWorld Conference & Expo (LWE)?
LinuxWorld Conference & Expo
(LWE) is a Linux trade show that focuses on open source and GNU/Linux
solutions in the information technology (IT) sector. The San Francisco
Bay Area event is held every August.

Multi-LUG Booth at 2007 LWE
LinuxWorld Conference & Expo takes place
August 6th through the 9th at the Moscone Center
in San Francisco.
IDG, the company that puts together LinuxWorld, has set up booth #644
for various Linux User Groups (LUGs). Jim Stockford from
SF-LUG in San Francisco
is currently expecting LUGs such as LUGOD to
provide some handout materials for the event, as well as volunteers to
help staff the booth. We are working with Briana Pontremoli,
Marketing Manager for IDG World Expo.
Two LUGOD members can get Exhibitor passes if they'd like to volunteer
at the multi-LUG booth at this year's expo.
Contact Bill Kendrick, or post
to vox-outreach if you'd like to
help.
Note (2007-08-03): Briana points out that online registration
closes on Sunday!
As of August 5, one pass is still available to a LUGOD
volunteer!
Six passes are still available overall.

What's our purpose at LinuxWorld Expo?
Our main purpose is to get the word out about the various user groups,
so that new Linux users know they have a community that they can become part
of, and get help from.
We also help to promote the annual
Picn*x event, the free picnic and
barbecue celebrating the Linux operating system's birthday. (That event
takes place in Sunnyvale, California, typically on the Saturday following
LinuxWorld Expo).
If you can think of other ways to make our booth even more beneficial to the
attendees of LinuxWorld Expo, let us know!
How to help
If you're planning on attending LWE, and wish to help staff LUGOD's
section of the LUG booth, or you'd like to attend specifically to
help out, please e-mail [email protected]
or post a message to LUGOD's
vox-outreach mailing list.
Let us know what day(s) and hours you'd like to help, where you're
coming from, how you're getting to the event, and if you need a ride,
want to take public transit, or can offer a ride to other volunteers or
attendees.
