**REMINDER** Linuxworld Invitation RSVP is due!

LinuxWorld Greenhouse (linuxworld_greenhouse@xplain.com)
Mon, 11 Jan 1999 20:14:39 -0800


Dear Linux Technology Developers,

The reservation deadline for exhibiting at the Inaugural LinuxWorld
Greenhouse is fast approaching. We're pleased to inform you that we
are now able to offer you Greenhouse stations which have 2 meters of
counter space -- initially it was only one meter. That's more bang
for the buck and this allows you a greater floor presence to make an
even bigger impact!

At this time, you should send a reply which indicates your interest
in participating in the LinuxWorld Greenhouse. This is not a formal
commitment, but please only respond if you are seriously interested.
Once you've reserved a station, we'll generate and fax you an invoice
and participant agreement for you to sign and return. No space is
guaranteed until we receive your payment, with the signed agreement
and have approved your participation.

All stations are on a first-come, first-served basis and their
allocation and placement, and participation are at the sole and
absolute discretion of show management.

The Greenhouse is designed to give emerging developers from the Linux
community the opportunity to promote their technology in an
affordable way. Participation in the Greenhouse is aimed at small
companies (up to ten employees) which are on technology's cutting
edge.

If you cannot yet justify a full booth on the exhibit floor, this is
the way to ensure that you have a presence at the show. The exposure
that your company will have to the attendees will be similar to
larger companies but at a fraction of the cost.

LinuxWorld is the premier exposition targeted at Linux developments
and will attract thousands of qualified attendees.IDG, whose history
of hugely successful pavilions such as Developer Central at Macworld
Expo, is offering up and coming exhibitors the chance to make their
statement to the Linux community.

Please note that your deadline to RSVP to this invitation is on or before:

*** Friday, January 14, 1999 ***

We're excited about the LinuxWorld Greenhouse -- as we are about
LinuxWorld in general and we look forward to having you be a part of
the show. Please take a moment and let us know where you stand today
-- simply reply to this message by sending a response of "yes",
"maybe", or "no thanks". If you're undecided, let us know immediately
if you have any specific concerns or questions that we may answer for
you to assist in your decision process. If you aren't able to
participate, we value your feedback and would appreciate it greatly
if you include some commentary as to the reasoning for your "no
thanks" decision.

Best regards,

Greenhouse Management Team
