Andy,
I would like to offer Worcester Linux Users Group members a
$200 discount to attend the Enterprise
Linux Forum. Registrations
processed by November 19th save an additional $100 off the regular conference
price. The conference offers 1-Day,
2-Day, and Expo Pass (free) passes to the
event.
This e-mail is not a "sales call", but is a win-win
business proposition. We are seeking
to drive attendance at this first
time (albeit world-class) event. We can
offer you and other Worcester Linux Users
Group members a world class
event that touches on a number of subjects via 4 comprehensive tracks that I believe would be of interest to your group such as Linux in the Datacenter;
Clustered and Distributed Computing; Operations, Management
and Infrastructure; and Application, Storage and Information
Management. Scroll
below for the complete line-up of speakers and topics to be highlighted at this
event.
As the
conference brochure (attached in PDF format) relates, this event is set to run December 3-4, 2002 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA.
Currently, the event is sponsored
by Red Hat (Premier Sponsor), BMC Software, Computer Associates, Dell,
Egenera, IBM, NeTraverse, Oracle, Sun
Microsystems, SuSE Linux, Ximian, and more. Additional supporters of the
event include: Illuminata (Premier Analyst Sponsor) and association
sponsors Free Standards Group, GNOME Foundation, Linux International, and
Open Source Development Lab. Media sponsors include, Capterra,
HostingTech, IT Toolbox, Linux Journal, and
OutsourcingCentral.com.
Visit the
event web site at www.enterpriselinuxforum.com for
the most up-to-date listing of speakers, session descriptions, sponsors, and
exhibitors.
Again, I would like to offer Worcester Linux Users
Group members a $200
discount to attend the Enterprise Linux Forum. As you can see
from the number and quality of sponsors
and speakers, this is a first rate event.
I have
attached with this e-mail
a fax back registration
form with the $200 discount as well as some copy
that you could include in an
email newsletter to you members or your web site. In order for your members to take
advantage of this $200 discount, they will
need to use the priority code
assigned in the fax back form or attached copy.
Please call me directly if you have any comments or questions.
Sincerely,
Juliet Sigmann
