I strongly disagree. There's nothing contradicting us going to both
big shows and little shows (depends on the money needed, of course). LAN96
sounds like a very communication-specialized show, rather than the bigger
"computer shows", in which all people come. Here, we can expect expert
people who really understand what Unix is about, and not the masses
to which we have to show Doom and DOSEMU for them to be thrilled. I strongly
support going to LAN96, and I'd like to know if some would like to volunteer
to take care of it. If not, I'll do it (provided you guys give me the
info and managers' phones and stuff).
