While the sponsoring group should be listed I don't think it should be
listed at the corporations booth.

Ask them. At this point, things for Orgcom doesn't look healthy.
I've got to believe that Jay is spending a good part of tonight formulating
a response to the events on the list today. Lynn OHara is biting her teeth
after Marco and Monjay took her to task for the archive not being yet open,
and the BSD guy is scratching his head wondering how he's gotten into this.
Someone should probibly reach out to Marco and Ron Guerin and ask them
if they want to help instead with Freedom-IT.
Freedom-IT already has a formal structure in that it is covered by the
NYLXS charter, it is already trademarked, and fairly well funded.
For not completely up to speed on the Freedom-IT discussions, the design
of Freedom-IT is 3 fold.
At the core, Freedom-IT is organized by participating qualified
organizations
nation wide. Each organization is to SPONSOR at least one corperation or
business.
In sponsoring the corperation, their booth will be labeled 'with support of
XYZ. The
Organization can build their booth without otherwise restriction and the
company will
be also allocated space for their use.
In addition to the .ORG sponsoring a corperation, the sponsored business
also has to
choose from one of a series of lectures to sponsor. These lectures can
anything from
kernel developement, desktop development and publishing, to running Linux on
Mainframes.
Once everything is figured out, we are inviting students from across the
nation for these
top of the line programs. In addition, Corperations can send their personel
to the programs
for free. Other segments will be geared for the general public, school
teachers, politicians,
etc.
Org's invited must agree to emphasis Free Software in their booths, and not
proprietary software
systems. We'll have a contract between NYLXS and the participanting Orgs to
assure this one
matter. A committee for Freedom-IT, outside of the NYLXS infrastructure
will be elected from
the participants to oversee the nuts and bolts. This committee will be
fully empowered to function
and sign needed contracts to the show to work. Financial oversite will be
done with the Freedom-IT
committee and the NYLXS Treasurer. And seperate bank account will be
segregaterd out for the purpose
of the show. Any left over procedes will be retained, including interest
for the next years show.
