[ale] Charlotte

[Chuck Payne]

Guys,

Chris, we are not a Trade Show. We are like SCALE, we are a User Base
Linux Fest. Everyone that work for SELF are volunteers. We are Linux
Focus, in fact I been talking to the folks at Ubuntu since Fossetcom
and the folks from PepperOS and Debian, to join us. Slackware will be
there, and course Fedora and Red Hat.

As some of you may or may not know I am with SELF( Community Manager
for Atlanta ), I will be up there Wednesday help setting up stuff, if
you any you need help here is my number 404-451-3579, if get lost or
need help. While I am there, I will be wearing an openSUSE shirt.
Please e-mail off list if you have question. I know JD is going, I
think Mark. Just let you know, we are getting a box of Swag for the
Central Meeting that I will bring when we talk about Virts.

I am not sure if I am registration table again this year, but I am
there doing double duty, I am also there for openSUSE, I got tons of
LEAP DVD to give a way.

Guys, the Red Hat folks are really cool I have know them now for 8
years. It really cool that they come to shows like ours because again
we are more end user base. Our little fest is cool because where else
can you talk to folks from Oracle, Red Hat, Rack Space, Mail Chimp,
and other companies. Plus, listens to talks from users like yourself
around the country.

If it was a marketing base show, you would be able to enjoy as George
stated craft beers from around the US, or go shot guns.

By the way, if you guys love the show, we are always looking for volunteers.

Again, my number is there all are welcome to call me. Or hit me up
Hangout or Skype ( terrorpup ).

Please stop me and say hi, I love to know the folks from ALE.  See ya there.
