We're going to have to meet this the board on the Both Usage and agenda
as soon as possible. We are investing a few hundred dollars in flyers
for the FSCC and the FSI, and other things are to be included as well
so consider this NOW while making plans, and don't forget about NY Fair Use
and the Journal.

However, I don't think that justifies making a conscious decision to limit the scope of the effort. Therefore I suggest that we concentrate on maximizing our efforts during the timeframe of LinuxWorld and simply invite the rest of the world to join in.

I believe we'd get more "bang for our buck" by promoting from the NYLXS booth upuntil the day of the event. On the day of the 24th, I (along with anyone who cares to join) will leave LW and make my way to the Court House where I (as well as others I hope) will file suit. Hopefully time will permit a return to LW to possibly report back on the progress made.
