“IntraLinux, Inc. is trying to help the business community learn
more about the strategic value of open source solutions while
bringing some clean fun into a rather serious and conservative
exposition. IntraLinux representatives will be handing out free
penguin peppermints, stuffed penguins and Linux
information.

“The main event includes a Celebrity Boxing Match between a Bill
Gates look-alike and Penguino, the IntraLinux mascot. Rolleen Myers
and other members of the Oakland Raiderettes drill team will also
be assisting with the IntraLinux event. Robert Close, a well known
opera singer in the San Francisco community will also be
performing. Attendees will recognize the IntraLinux? participants
by their red bow ties and distinctive outfits.”

“We in the open source community cannot just sit around and let
Microsoft get all the news!” says CEO Randy Stockton. “We are
pleased to see that the Linux community is stepping up to let
conscientious network professionals know that our products are
serious alternatives to the near monopoly that Microsoft has
created, and IntraLinux? is an important part of that.”
