Alan Dayley has volunteered to take care of sponsors but wants a commentment
before starting.  The commitment includes (among other things) time and
place (I think we have that) AND:

1) Press Release(s)  

2) Web site announcing all the details  I think someone named Jim has been
mentioned here.  Am I right?

Any idea who has experienct in these two areas???


Also, 

Derek Neighbors is willing to work with AZOTO concerning
presentation(s)/demo(s).  Thanks Derek!!!

If no-one wants to step forward to coordinate the volunteers, I can.  But, I
really would like to talk to someone who has done thin in the past.  It's a
learning thing. I.e. what are the categories?

Hans, I take it that you have volunteered for this.  Do you have a "facility
team" in place or do you need some volunteers to form one?

Would you mind if I tagged along when you seee what the facility looks like?
It's a learning thing.

It sure would be nice if we had teams for each of the areas needed (in
place) (with experience)!!!

If we decide to go with LTSP, I still have my AMD Athlon 2000 server if
needed.  It should handle 6 clients (512 Meg of memory).  I can provide 2
(maybe 3) clients.  I am looking at a 200 MHz client (the 3rd one).  If we
are going to use my LTSP server with UAT's boxes, I'll need to configure
them one way or another.
