Hi Andrea,
|
||
|
||
ar> Hello eveybody, bonjour <20> tous!
|
||
|
||
ar> I just arrived this morning in office and I really wanted to
|
||
ar> thank you very much for exhibiting in Montreal on April 10-12,
|
||
ar> 2000. It was our first show in Canada and we are really happy
|
||
ar> of the results. The press had only good words regarding the
|
||
ar> organization of the exhibition and the attendance. Since we
|
||
ar> had a snow storm........on the first day of the event, we
|
||
ar> received less people than we announced (more than 4000 though)
|
||
ar> BUT, as mentionned byt the exhibitors themselves we received
|
||
ar> very good quality of people such as IT Director, Top
|
||
ar> Management people and Project Manager etc. A snow storm in
|
||
ar> April in Montreal hasn't arrived in more than 100
|
||
ar> years........bad luck !!!!
|
||
|
||
ar> I really would love to have your comments on the show.
|
||
|
||
Thanks for the kind note. I have no comments to add to your summary;
|
||
you sum it up beautifully. LinuxExpo Canada had to start somewhere
|
||
and I'm happy it started with this event. Despite the snow, everyone
|
||
I talked to was happy with the event.
|
||
|
||
One small comment I will make is on the length of the keynote
|
||
addresses; having so many top speakers one after another in a marathon
|
||
session was a challenge of audience endurance. I'm not certain what
|
||
could be done about it, especially when all the names were such
|
||
celebrities; it's not a criticism, just a comment.
|
||
|
||
Also, from a thematic exhibit design point of view, and again, this is
|
||
just an idea and not a criticism, I'd like to see the exhibit floor
|
||
arranged in layers concentrically outward from the orgs; this mirrors
|
||
the true situation in Linux where the new large-company interests are
|
||
still highly dependent on the source of their wares, the FSF and the
|
||
Linux orgs. There is a trend in modern Linux trade shows towards
|
||
marginalizing these groups into far corners; it would cost no more to
|
||
place them in a pavillion at the center of the floor, and would
|
||
rightly place them as the hub, the center of the Linux universe, in
|
||
the direct path of all traffic lines.
|
||
|
||
Thanks again for a wonderful show, and I shall look forward to next year.
|
||
|
||
Best regards,
|
