[Sean DALY]

ok Mike

Marketers, here is more info about NECC:

This conference will be right after LinuxTag Berlin when we plan to
issue a press release for SoaS beta-2, so the timing is great.

Caroline - I believe you had mentioned a conference around the same
dates, was it this one?

We'll be be discussing booth stuff (including a PDF brochure) at
today's marketing meeting. I would like to have a roll-up banner
made... with your fabulous photo :-)

thanks

Sean
