Yes, And the IDG folks want us back for NY as well .  That Expo is January 30 -
February 2, 2001, and they are finalizing thier call for papers as of 25 August.
If you would like to set up  a presentation ( I wish Doug were availible to respond
as well, Happy Vacation!), I can contact someone  at IDG  on our behalf. The online
form is short, it asks for a bio on the presenter and a two hundred word abstract,
but they really do not have a slot for education on thier list.

I think that would be vey helpful.  Aaron can give you a blow by blow on San Jose,
but I felt there was no unified thinking on what to present to the floor traffic,
so it was all off the cuff.  I was also distracted by my need to push LinuxHelpers
as we ended up with two booths that were not adjoining.  (They originally assured
me that the booths would adjoin.)
