Hello everybody,

Some of this last minute notice was my own fault. I did not realize  the
potential until I got to the conference myself. 1200 MIS professors right
there! We managed to pass along Fedora 11 CDs (Larry Cafiero, the west coast
Fedora honcho had a box), so at least some of the professors at AMCIS took
home the gift of -free-.

I'll have to watch out for more of such academic conferences and plan ahead
of time.

cheers,
Sameer
