Expo Report 2005 Posted By Paul O'Malley - 19:03, 20 April 2005 We had a good time in ICT-EXPO this year. The show itself was not as well attended as previous years. What did we do? Well in a break with tradition we gave away a lot of Ubuntu Install CDs made for us at the show by nivalis.ie. We also gave away a lot of other stuff from IFSO.ie, KDE.ie and some company called mandriva :-). We were situated opposite the RedHat stand, who I personally have to thank for providing a speaker at less than 5 minutes warning, a bit like kickstart for conferences. The talks were resonably well attended and seemed to generate interest. We had a good time in ICT-EXPO this year. We gave away a lot of Ubuntu Install CDs made for us at the show by nivalis.ie.
