i was thinking more about a series of workshops or seminars with speakers 
coming from various companies. some speakers might be offering solutions that 
their company can provide but others might explain how they decided to go 
open source/linux, what the benefits were/are and how they did it. i would 
expect sme's to be interested in solutions where open source/linux 
solutions are integrated in with their existing windows/unix/whatever 
systems too.
