I did not realize the potential until I got to the conference myself. 1200 MIS professors right there! We managed to pass along Fedora 11 CDs (Larry Cafiero, the west coast Fedora honcho had a box), so at least some of the professors at AMCIS took home the gift of -free-. I'll have to watch out for more of such academic conferences and plan ahead of time. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/
