Five years of bringing Linux to the Feds first-hand (NewsForge)

[Posted March 8, 2004 by ris]

NewsForge talks with Tim Bogart, of the Northern Virginia Linux Users Group (NoVaLUG), about the LUG's participation in FOSE, the Federal Office Systems Exposition. " How did the first FOSE appearance come about? Did you ask FOSE or did FOSE ask you? Tim: Actually I annoyed them until they agreed to open a dialog. I pestered them for about three months. Then Red Hat had their IPO ... more phone calls ... then VA Linux ... then I got to talk to them. It was nothing but bulldog tenacity that got us in there. "
