Good point, I obviously wasn't thinking real straight when I made that 
post.



==========================================================
All of the discussion has been excellent.  We need to bring all of the 
discussion together and develop a detailed plan.

Can we develop a small group on the side that wants to develop this?  
Who want to work on the development of the Expo?  I will gladly be a 
member, but can not lead, as I have said before.

This is a challenge to the membership to be active and give back to the 
group - and Linux.
