Hello Dave,
Assuming I get my Visa in time I'd like to help with setting up, or any
other tasks need doing. I can't as yet do much on the Linux front, but I
can use a Word Processor(Word 97), Excel etc.
James

>Our objective will be to help people put UNIX and Open Source in

>helping, please let me know. If things look good, we'll set up a
>special mailing list for the project.

>Major tasks:

>1. Definition of display scope and objectives.

>2. Preparation of text and graphics for display.

>3. Solicitation of corporate sponsorships to fund
