Or visiblity at trade shows. I'm getting two or three marketing pieces a week 
from the NCOF (National Conference on Operations & Fulfillment), and all I can 
think is that there is a bunch of companies that could come into the family and 
help sponsor pieces of ofBiz/openTaps.

I gave two seminars ("Data Standards" and "Marketing your small business on the 
internet") this past weekend a the HotRod & Restoration Trade show in 
Indianapolis. I did get ofBiz worked into the bio that was read by the person 
introducing me, but I didn't get to spend much time talking about ofBiz during 
the seminars.

I'm guessing in 2008 I'll make the push to give presentations on open source ERP 
 /MRP/E-commerce systems [with a emphasis on ofBiz of course] at SEMA 
(http://www.semashow.com), Automotive eForum (http://www.aftermarketeforum.com), 
HRR (http://www.hotrodshow.com), and maybe even the Sema National Education 
Conference.
