There may be a good reason to forward this to someone at a Boulder
company called "VR-1". They created a linux game server clustering
technology for the next-generation of distributed network games. I have
no idea if they would actually be interested, but I happen to have a
card from their human resources manager, who might in turn be able to
ask locally (and I personally would like to hear any presentations):
