Yes doug, the focus at the expo is making money and riding the HYPE of Linux,
thus they want to offer sessions on training self and learnig about training
others (read company staff) in using Linux daily on a workstation or server.

They have no "...use Linux in the schools as a computing platform instead of
Mac/Windows" division as a focal point.

If you can eloquntly convince them to, we may be able to sell them on a "btw,
we have a special session"  session focused on the classroom.  I can plan on
being there, as well as others such as Jim Lynch or Aaron Turner, or Jay Sun or
others in the local region perhaps.  After all, this conference is in Oakland,
California in the Fall.

Bill's tiny suggestion.
