RFD: Annual Linux Showcase 2002

[Brian Kelsay]

Forgot to mention it is a great idea. Are they looking for a new place or do
they move it every year?

Might want to get a count of number of states included in the LUG count or a
rough number of members.

Under the bullet for Geeks w/ Guns, were you implying that they would be
able to go full auto in KS or MO?

Here is a draft of an open letter I am writing. Comments?  Agree?
Disagree?

--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--

Why the Annual Linux Showcase 2002 should be held in Kansas City.

1).  Central Location:  There are 49 local user groups within one day's
drive.  The ill-fated LinuxFest 2000 had attendees from St. Louis,Wichita,
and Austin, TX.
2).  Three letters:  BBQ.  Barbecue is a religious topic in Kansas City.

The arguments can get every bit as heated as which distribution, Vi/Emacs,
or Gnome/KDE.
3).  Lower costs:  Kansas City is less expensive than other areas of the
country.
4).  Geeks with Guns:  Full auto. 'nuff said.
5).  Large convention space:  Bartle Hall has 400,000 square feet of space.
6.)  Local companies:  Atipa, Informix, IBM S/390 group
