CentOS - Feb 2005 - Lessons Learned from LinuxWorld Expo

I have just published a article (http://masnetworks.biz/node/20) about
exhibiting at LinuxWorld Expo and the lessons learned.

I heard some talk about some interest in doing the San Fran show. 
Please feel free to contact me for any suggestions, help, CD's &
DVD's
etc.

Excellent writeup! And thank you very much for hosting the booth. I hope it
was at least entertaining and fun for you. I like hosting booths because it
gives a great opportunity to interface directly with the public. I have talked 
to some of my peers that were there and they said you guys did a great job,
and the booth was busy.

At the SF show last summer, we didn't come with any pre-burnt CDROMS, nor
documents, nor banners. We may have looked amateurish, but we still made some 
good contacts.

Your points about funding limitations are very valid. Hopefully by the next
show, we will be able to afford to print some fliers, and maybe even
(hopefully) bring in some developers/contributors. Also as you suggested,
leveraging sponsors for CDROMS and maybe other swag may be very beneficial.
Anyone on the list that can help here should contact me. ;)

As a matter of fact, if anyone wants to be part of next summer's LWE in SF,
let me know. Booking travel plans very early can usually get very discounted
rates.

So Matt... Are you going to do it again next year? ;)

Again... Many thanks!
