[CLUG] Re: [ILUG] Windows World

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Here's a bit more: we've been invited to host a stand there. I have the
floor plan here and we're going to be right at the back in the IIA
pavillian (IP15 if you have the plan)
It's a 3x2m stand, with stand and ethernet connection, lights and a few
banners.

I brought this up at the CLUG meeting on Thursday night. A mighty
argument ensued. I'll summarise the arguments as best I can later when I
have a bit more time.

Donncha.
