Guys - if you want to kick this email blast idea around for a couple of hours , they are waiting for it :)
Idea is that CentOS is a media sponsor in exchange for promotion of the event.
We are also meant tio oput together a thread for the conference - who fancies a trip to Vegas in June ??
We have thought abiout having a CentOS get-together there - like a mini conference , there is also a Londion event in November.
Cheers

Lance,
I envision two items to tackle: (1) non-spam email from CentOS to CentOS faithful about the event. Attached is the DRAFT version of the email blast that could go out to the CentOS email list. I have slipped in some concepts of what CentOS programming could be available at the event. Please elaborate, edit, change, delete as you see fit and shoot back to me to review. (2) Plus, I have attached the LT PACT logo. I envision this posted on the CentOS website as appropriate. (www.ltpact.com) .
****When do you think we can get this emailed out?******* ****When do you think we can get the logo on the CentOS website?*****
Please advise.

Lance,
Depends on your definition of mini-conference, which is what I had hoped to nail down.
From a high level perspective, we will have rooms available at different
times that probably could be used. The main LT PACT conference would have first preference. LT PACT would want to incorporate your activities into our overall event schedule for anyone to attend.
Sort of like a CentOS thread ??
That could work - we could certainly put together some interesting meetings for folk on new technologies , virtualization etc , although depending on who attends we would like to have development meetings as well
Our aims would be to meet up with people who use CentOS, to find out what they want, and we are hoping by then to have a 3rd party support system in place for CentOS, so hopefully you will be working with that as well :)
Regards Lance

Lance,
Great! Glad you will be able to join us.
I will work on what we can offer in regard to the conference passes. How many extra are we talking about? We would love to have a CentOS mini-conference to coincide with the LT PACT event, they would complement one another!
Well it depends on whether we do have the CentOS mini conference ...
I need to chat to some guys and work out what is possible, what we would need and what costs would be involved .
One of the first things we need to do is to nail everything down in a
quick
phone meeting. When would be an appropriate time to call you? Please advise.
I think email is better for this at the moment ... Mainly because I have to ask other people stuff as well ... Or we could arrange an irc or msn meeting ...
Second, we then need to get the message out to the CentOS faithful around the world. What would be the appropriate means to do that?
Well, website and mailing lists are the obvious ways ...

Please advise.

Lance,
As you may recall, you had responded to one of my original emails about
the
hosting industry event called, LT PACT 2007:::LAS VEGAS. Again, we
would
love to have Centos as an Operating System Sponsor (free of course).
Could we schedule a 15 minute call to discuss?
We are happy to be an OS sponsor ... but we were also considering whether we could arrange some sort of CentOS conference or meeting to coincide with yours , either in Las Vegas or London or both .
We may need more thsan the oine ticket offered , depending on who can get out there and whether we do hold a meeting ...
Let me know what you want us to do and what you want from us.

Lance,
Thank you for getting back in touch with me.
Information attached includes: (a)the Summary that contrasts the 2006
event
with this year's 2007 event; (b) the official invitation that went out
to
our customers; (c) the initial press release announcing the event.
The LT PACT event will be in Las Vegas from June 20th to June 22th. We
will
also have one in London in October of 2007.
We envision your Sponsorship as no cost to your organization which would provide CentOS exposure to the techie Resellers, Solution Integrators
and
Software Developers from around the world. The term currently is Media Sponsorship, but could be adjusted to reflect the nature of your organization, such as "Open Source Sponsor". Your organization would receive 1 free event pass for someone attending. Plus, we could utilize this individual's technical expertise in one the Panel Discussions. In return, we would like your backing of the event as well as appropriate non-spam communication through out your organization.
After digesting the attached information, I would love the opportunity
to
talk with you for 15 to 20 minutes to paint the whole picture and the excitement. Let me know when you are available and I will call you.
