OK, it looks like we may have some interest for doing a few presentations
at the Denver Computer & Technology Showcase/Internet Expo.  In addition
to the possibilities above I can offer to talk about how I'm using Linux
for data analysis in my lab.  If anyone else wants to chip in let me know.

I'll find out tomorrow what they will actually let us do.  On the phone
they have offered us a table or booth, the possibility of holding a
meeting at the conference, and/or a seminar room.  I'll see what I can
get.  I'll shoot for a table at the least, and try to get a conference
room for our use.  I'll let everyone know what I find out tomorrow.
