Subject: The Linux(r)Show to provide International Broadcast from LinuxFest2000



  The Linux(r) Show!! to provide International broadcast from
LinuxFest2000.

  The Linux(r) Show!! (TLS) has come to an agreement to serve as the
official "Broadcast Sponsor"
  of  LinuxFest2000,  June 20 through 24, 2000 in Overland Park, Kansas
(Suburban Kansas
  City).  The Linux(r) Show!! (TLS) is the flagship show on the new
GeekCast.Com Network, and
  is the number one rated and longest running Linux focused Webcast in
the US (and probably the
  world).  TLS broadcasts weekly shows for the greater Linux community
as an opportunity for
  people to voice opinions and get a chance to interact directly with
linux users from around the
  world. TLS has listeners in every state in the US and has had
listeners from 17 different nations
  around the world.

  The LinuxFest trade show will be held at the Overland Park
International Trade Center and will
  feature over 60,000 square feet of trade show display space and a four
day seminar track.

  The Linux(r) Show!! will broadcast live to the greater Linux world
from the TLS Pavilion on the
  floor of the Expo, featuring end to end coverage of the event.  The
TLS broadcast will include
  interviews of todays leading Linux community members and executives of
leading Linux vendors.
  Jeff Gerhardt, host of The Linux(r) Show!! noted, "this event will be
a great deal of fun
  for us at TLS.  Not only are we going to have a major presence at the
expo, but we are taking an
  active role in promoting and helping produce the event as the main
Broadcast Sponsor.  In
  addition, we are also going to act as official hosts and help to
coordinate some of the social events
  associated with the event."

  "This will be a major technology event...", according to Greg Palmer,
President of Mobius
  Marketing, producer of LinuxFest, " LinuxFest will demonstrate the
power of Linux and Open
  Source Software for IT and business owners across the US and
specifically the heartland of
  America and we appreciate the partnership that The Linux(r) Show!!
brings to this event."

  Recent spectacular IPO's by Red Hat, VA Linux, Cobalt and Andover.net
have taken the stock
  market by storm and LinuxFest2000 will be the first opportunity for
many in the Midwest to see
  what the excitement is all about.

  Major well known companies like IBM, Compaq, Informix and Oracle have
committed to Linux,
  however most people are exposed to Linux on a daily basis, because
Linux powers much of the
  World Wide Web.

  Most of the established major Linux companies will be represented,
plus many startup cutting edge
  companies will also be in attendance.
