Hoss Traders Ham Fest this weekend

[Jon 'maddog' Hall, Executive Director, Linux International]

Hi,

I mentioned this at the last meeting in Nashua.  The Ham Fest is this weekend,
starting Friday morning at 0900 and lasting until Saturday at dusk.

For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is a large group of Radio
Amateurs who get together to swap problems, stories and old gear.  More and more
of this old gear is computers, and a fair number of Ham Radio operators ("hams"
for short) are using Linux.

For the past three years we have been going to this event, and for the past
two years I have been buying space inside one of the main buildings for our
group to show off Linux.

This year I have (once again) bought the space, and it should be in the same
building, the same spot as last year.  It is covered, and the building is locked
at nigbt with no one in it.  There is electricity (although you should bring
a UPS, extention cords, etc.) and we have a fairly good time both telling people
about Linux and looking for bargains.

Unfortunately I will not be able to be there this year.  I had a previous (and
larger) engagement that takes me out of the country, and I will not be back
until Sunday.  Therefore I will have to rely on you folks to staff this area,
if you so choose.

The cost to get in is (I believe) $10.  Even exhibitors have to pay to get in.

You can find out more about times, etc. at http://www.qsl.net/k1rqg/

So I leave it up to you.  I am going to leave on an airplane in about 10 minutes
so don't write asking me questions. It is all up to you.

If no one wants to do this, I will understand.  On the other hand, several of
you have indicated in the past that you liked doing it, and would not mind
doing it again.

Good luck.
