conference.  They hold conferences around the USA and the Denver version is 
October 22-23, 10 am - 4 pm each day at the Denver Convention Center.

ITEC's Denver Event Manager send me an email asking for Linux representation 
at this event.  I volunteered a 1 hour presentation that will cover basic 
Linux concepts such as: who, what, why, how, etc.  In addition, we discussed 
some other ideas, such as:

1.  LUG booth - We would hold a booth on the show floor.  Not sure if we would 
receive the floor space complimentary or not.

2.  LUG meeting - An informal way to talk to folks about Linux and CLUE.  We 
could hand out LUG informational flyers that have information about CLUE and 
Linux.

3. LUG seminar - A more focused panel discussion and opportunity to discuss 
some aspect of Linux in more detail.  Probably an hour or two time slot.

Kaleb Ramsay, the Denver event coordinator really wants Linux representatives 
at this conference.  Our goal is to showcase Linux and to forward the CLUE 
goals of advocacy and education.

I have personally never been to an IT event where the admission is 'free for 
IT professionals'.  Given that it is a 'free' event, expect a lot of 
advertising and marketing of products, etc. 

I would like to call for discussion on whether CLUE would like to have a group 
presence at the event.  I need to get back to Kaleb early next week with our 
decision.  Please post your comments back to the list.  If you are able to 
volunteer and attend as a CLUEbie representative, please let me know directly 
at president at clue.denver.co.us.

Thanks!
Jeff
