One event that comes to my mind...
Am thinking we should encourage businesses to bring their boxes, install
linux for them on their boxes. This can be coordinated by companies that
provide open-source tools support - they can also market their solutions
during this event.
I understand that something similar was done by the SFO lug group in their
earlier days.
I wish I were a part of it. I am in Mumbai <Sigh>
I would like to make a slightly modified suggestion.
One can ask the businesses bring their problems/issues/requirements.
Promoting open source software won't hurt in that case...
Products like alfresco (as a replacement to file share), Jasper
reports/perntaho for CA openvista for heathcare vertical etc come to
mind. Perhaps a demo setup with heterogenous (but staunchly FLOSS in
the backend/infra) with fixed/mobile clients/frontends would impress
more.
