This is a bit of a shameless plug, but I wanted to spread the word: I’m hosting a Webcast on Thursday, September 6, that will feature guest speakers from a range of technology backgrounds.

One of the speakers is Gerry Carr, a marketing manager from Canonical. Instead of giving a sales pitch, Gerry will describe key trends he’s witnessing with desktop Linux, and the emergence of Ubuntu as a potential solution for VARs and resellers.
