[olug] REVOLUTION OS

[Larry.Britton at i-structure.com]

I asked on behalf of the group, and I get the impression that the effort and
expense of a showing at a viable venue (like Dundee) would be prohibitive
for this company.  There is the issue of profit, these people didn't do this
for free.  If an organization(s) or companies could form up a coalition,
perhaps add this movie showing to an existing event, like Infotec, then
mabybe they would show interest.  

Here is a list of screenings on the website.

I have seen the trailer on the website, and will be first in line to
purchase the DVD when it comes out.

By institutional video screening, I wonder if this
could/would include our OLUG group or and LUG group?
