[ILUG] fun at LinuxWorld

This would probably be down to a number of factors.  I'm not the best
person to answer this mail so organisers please feel free to correct me
if I'm too far off the mark.

1.	The venue was chosen quite late, limiting the choices in this area

2.	The small number of corporate sponsors and stands would not have made
a much larger venue feasible this year

3.	The LinuxWorld brand is not hugely known in Ireland _YET_, and this
coupled with the fact that the level of advertising could not be on as
great a scale as (for example) Windows World/e-Xpo etc limited the
interest in LinuxWorld to a point where a larger venue would not have
been feasible.  Perhaps next year a larger venue would be in order, but
I still don't think we'd be looking at anything like the RDS.
