Megameeting plans

[John Abreau]

I attended the Megameeting planning meeting this evening (Thursday). I 
brought up the possibility of producing a set of WWW pages for the show, 
which we'd run at the Linux/Unix Group booth and the Web Masters booth, 
and probably also on a number of self-contained systems around the show 
floor, functioning as information kiosks. Response was enthusiastic.

I'd like to get a team together in the next week to begin preparing this.
Pam Bybell also wants to demonstrate the main BCS web pages at
Megameeting. 

Robert Luoma has begun evaluating software for Macintosh and MS Windows, 
for use on the kiosk machines. We're unlikely to have enough machines 
capable of running Linux and X for the show to be able to use any for the 
kiosks. 

I'd like to invite those interested in helping out to join us in this 
project. Also, if anyone is willing to loan any Linux systems for our booth 
at the show, it would be greatly appreciated. We currently have one 
system available (my personal home machine), and ideally we could use
up to eight systems at the two booths.

Thanks.
