That would be Jim McLaren IIRC. Are you still around, Jim?

Not sure that presentations are a good idea without better attendance, but
that is just my own opinion. The idea of marketing in the local area is
definitely worthwhile, just a few posters in colleges can make a huge
difference IME. As for the BCS mailing list, I'm not so sure. The upper
echelons of that particular group seem to have a very low opinion of all
FL/OSS (although the members seem to be somewhat less dimissive).
