Ok, we had a short meeting on IRC right now and folks are all too tired to
carry on a discussion with any intellegence or clarity.

The plan is to meet on seul's irc and hash out a plan for swamping IDG with
a number of paper proposals for LWE NY.   We are interested in  almost any
idea that encourages Linux and education in use together.  In general, it is
my opinion, a solution that can have an impact on the community and expand
the use of Linux in schools allowing the business community a way to find
profitability in such settings may have the greatest impact.  Remember, LWE
is a commercial endeavour, and profits are neccesary for it to exist.

As a rule, if you *think* you have a decent idea, and you *may* get the time
free, it is worth tossing out a serious proposal for a paper or discussion
panel.  If travel and hotel costs are going to hold you back, keep in mind
this fact.  IDG wants a successful conference and in the past has offered
financial assitance to those in need if they feel the presence of said
individuals will be of benefit to the conference program.

To join us in our chat, set your irc client to irc.seul.org:6667 and /join
#seul.

We will be meeting at 15:30 UT / 11:30 EDT / 8:30 PDT
