LOTUS and LINUX

[Rodney Thayer]

***SO***

we should volunteer to hold a "Linux Technical Introduction" seminar at 
Lotus so they can become more familiar with it and they can get something 
out of their kind corporate sponsorship.

Furthermore if they've got any code that runs on any of those commercial 
Unix platforms (doesn't notes or 1-2-3 or something run on SCO Unix?) we 
should volunteer to evaluate it on Linux to exercise the iBCS2 compatibility.

I trust there's a link from www.bcs.org to www.lotus.com somewhere...

p.s. I doubt very much that I'm alone but I do know technical people at 
Lotus if we need to learn of a contact...
