[Fwd: [u-u] SCO event :|]

"I'de [sic] be willing to stand on the sidewalk with a sign and harrass
[sic] the public if I knew I wasn't alone in it."

so, how many brave souls does it take to make a mob???  none, it appears...

but, keith, why get out of your darkened basement just to stand on a
sidewalk???  why not harass people closer to home???  maybe you can ask evan
leibovitch of the linux professional institute why sco is still a platinum
sponsor of the lpi as described here:  http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html

or, maybe you can ask matthew rice of starix fame if they are still "proud
to be a part of Caldera's growth" and are still "good friends" as shown
here: http://www.starnix.com/partners.html


gee, keith.  you clearly aren't trying hard enough...

All hollywood pipedreams set aside, are there any organized plans for
protest at the SCO thingy? Where are those tree huggers when we need them?
A public display of protest will make it more difficult for SCO to say
that they are supported or condoned by the toronto linux community.

I'de be willing to stand on the sidewalk with a sign and harrass the
public if I knew I wasn't alone in it. With enough people and good
planning we could get just a little media attention. I would hate to see
after-the-fact that SCO reports support and success in Toronto, and a bit
of adversary interest might take that away from them.

Does anyone on the list have any experience with this kind of thing?
