I have been trying to find an exhaustive list of software exhibitions
particularly in the Un*x porting / compiler area with a view to ourselves
taking part as exhibitors.
It is very important to us that we don't waste time talking to hordes of
hackers about porting our products to C64's etc.
We need exhibitions where the attendance is predominantly commercial / OEM
and not padded out with the aforementioned hackers to make the attendance
figures look good!
It is extremely difficult to get a complete (read unbiased) list from the
exhibition organisers themselves so I thought that if I polled the net
I would be able to get a list that I could sort myself.
If anyone knows of an exhibition that would fit my requirements (perhaps
from themselves having taken part) I would be very pleased if they could
send me (preferably via E-mail) details, along with there own experiences
of the set-up and type of person that attends etc.
Needless to say if response is big enough I will summarise to the net
otherwise I will reply with a summary to anyone that specifically requests
it.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Trevor Luker
