Hi Jonathan,

Robin Miller is the keynote speaker for the CTS show in Orlando on May 15, 
2002, from 10:30am to 11:30am. The title of his talk is "Building Profitable 
Web Sites With Free Software". I think this is news for several reasons:

1. THE keynote address for a mainstream IT event is a Linux person.
2. This demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between event promoters (in 
this case Event Management Services, of Portland, OR) and Linux User Groups 
(in this case Linux Enthusiasts and Professionals, Orlando Florida).
3. Even though big Linux shows are few and far between (and getting fewer 
thanks to shutdowns and moveaways), LUGs are managing to piggyback on local 
and regional shows to maintain a strong show presence.

I'd appreciate it if you could post this, or even better write a story about 
it. If you write a story about it, here is the contact information:

* For Event Management Services: Barbie Souza, bsouza@techshows.com.
* For Robin Miller: Robin Miller, robin@roblimo.com.
* For Linux Enthusiasts and Professionals: Steve Litt, 
slitt@troubleshooters.com.


Thanks

Steve
