I spoke to them as well and even broached the subject of Open Source Classes
(ie Linux, Perl, etc) and they laughed and said they were not interested in
providing such a service and/or being involved with such a plan.
I will strongly suggest just you and I attend as a show of force would be
very very unwelcome and may turn people off. Secondly, please dress for the
occasion (i.e. Jacket and tie and/or business suit, bring plenty of business
cards, some NILES FISH and FACT Flyers etc for those interested parties we
may meet. Most importantly, no chanting "Microsoft is Evil! Die Bill Die!"
as this will further to turn off many people.
Regards,
Evan M. Inker (New York) x. 4615

I just got off the phone with the organizers of this, and they seem fairly
sensitive. So when we go, we need to polite and on our best behavior.
