[Beowulf] 9th Annual Beowulf Bash: Announcement and final sponsorship opportunity

[Donald Becker]

Ninth Annual Beowulf Bash

We've finalized the plans for this year's Beowulf Bash.

It will take place, as usual, during the IEEE Supercomputing Conference.
This year SC07 is in Reno Nevada during the week of Nov 10-16

Unlike the vendor parties, the attraction is the conversations with
other attendees.  We will have beer and light snacks, and a short
greeting by the sponsors at 7pm.

We venue is the one we suggested earlier: 6-8pm Tuesday evening at Third
Street Blues in downtown Reno.  This is close to several of the
conference hotels, but you'll need one of the conference shuttle buses
from the Sparks convention center.

3rd Street Blues    125 W 3rd St     Reno, NV
Next to the ElDorado Casino, or on-street parking readily available.


If your company (or even you as an individual) would like to help
sponsor the event, please contact me, becker at beowulf.org before
November 2.

Our current sponsor list is
  Penguin/Scyld (organizing sponsor)	http://penguincomputing.com

  - get their name up in lights (Errrmm, or maybe just vinyl signs.  If 
you
    bring a sign, there will be some ambient light.)
  - are part of the brief greeting in the middle of the party.
  - have the opportunity for technical, hands-on demos at the bash
  - have their logos on the beowulf.org site through the end of SC07,
