Dear Ed Anderson,

Our company has just launched a new website at click2try.com that
hosts Open Source apps targeted to small- and medium-sized businesses.
Using Xen and some homegrown code, we've created a jukebox application
to host the apps, and a viewer that lets users run the applications
from within a browser, without the need to download software to the
local client. In addition, visitors can run all of the hosted
applications at no cost, during a trial period, which they can read
about on the site.

We currently have more than 35 business applications available,
including CentOS and Eclipse. We hope that some of your Open Source
users and/or LUG members, especially newer members, would like to try
these application deployments running in our Xen hypervisor
implementation.

Designed as a community site, click2try includes a forum, reviewing
and rating features, and links to many other resources related to each
of the applications. We've also created some original resources for
different applications, and will continue to add to those as time goes
on. Our goal is to make Open Source applications as easy to use as
possible, especially for companies that may not have in-house IT
expertise.

Although our market is primarily small- and medium-sized businesses,
we value the perspective of user group members, who we believe will
have a more technical perspective than the typical business user.

If you think your members might be interested in taking a look, please
forward them this email or the link below, which will take them to a
special entry page where they can sign up for a free account.

We would love to talk to you more about your user group and Open
Source. Please feel free to contact me any time.

P.S. We also have an introductory video that covers all of the
capabilities of the site, if some of your members would be interested
in seeing that first:
