*FLORIDA LINUX ALLIANCE GROUP:*
The mission of the FLAG will be to identify companies that do business
in Florida and that are located in Florida which use Linux and Open
Source Software for their business model. The FLAG's first
priority is education at all levels within Florida. FLAG will apply for
education grants to supplement these programs at the high school and
college levels to promote the use of Linux and Open Source software and
materials. The Florida Linux Show is a partnered business vehicle to
help spread the Linux message and educate attendees and members about
Linux, the companies who are working in this arena and the Open Source
advantages that are available. More information regarding the FLAG will
be posted soon and it will be available at the Florida Linux Show 2009
Orlando.
