SAGE needs you for future PR efforts

[Bryan McDonald <erg.sri.com">bigmac]

Hi,

SAGE has a need for exposure and publicity at this early stage in its life.
So far, board members have served the PR role well, since may of us are
active conference goers.

Unfortunately, we cannot attend them all, not even a fraction of them.  And the 
international conferences are simply out of our reach.  As such, I have
volunteered to coordinate a group of speakers from within SAGE to represent
us at the conferences and other gatherings around the world, as far as we
can reach.

So, here is what I want from you.  All those people interested in representing
SAGE at any conferences, workshops, local gathers, etc., please contact me
directly.  Let me know what conferences you plan to attend over the next year,
and I will collect a list of names for each conference, etc. as they come up, 
putting you all into contact with each and find someone to run a BOF, act as
information source, etc. for us all.

I and the pubs working group are putting together info packs for you to use at 
a BOF or similar event, and new member packs are being generated as well.  All
these materials will be made available to you as you need them and kept up
to date by pubs as time passes.

If you are interested in this, please let me know.  I know of one or two 
conferences between now an the LISA conference in Long Beach, but would like
to hear more about other cons, national and international.  I am especially
interested in any non-US members who would like to serve as coordinators
for their country/region.

Thanks.

Bryan
