I had problems getting to the site last night, I assume you were updating it.
My recommendations are to add a "business oriented section" asking "what is the
main issue you would like to know how to solve after this Show" with options
(suggested):
1. Reduced licensing costs
2. Improve ability to share data
3. Reduce downtime
4. Reduce administrative problems related to systems.
5. Improve speed to market
and any others we think of.
Then again, we don't want to make the form too long, so I'll let the list hash
it out.

ps: I like the form, good work

Subject: [LBS] Registration form draft #2
First, many thanks to all the people who praised my simple HTML form. Keep
this up and I'm gonna start blushing. :-)
There is a new draft up at:

I will be coordinating the back-end with Rob Anderson.

Good idea! Done.

Wouldn't that be covered by the "Already Doing So" column of the "Are you
interested in using Linux..." block? That's what I figured, anyway. If you
think we need something more explicit, by all means, say so. :)

Good ideas, both. Done.

Actually, what I was trying to do was get some idea of what local small
offices are using for software. This would let us help them look at Linux
from a standpoint of migration from their existing systems.
When I was done, more then half the list of likely candidates belonged to
Microsoft. But they aren't a monopoly. Nope. Uh-uh. Who, us?
I've reworked that section in the current incarnation. It now asks about
OSes and programming languages only. Comments, anyone?

That's already covered by the "Are you interested in using Linux..."
section, isn't it?
