lisah writes "Though the exhibit floor at Linux World Expo in San Francisco has only just opened, conference attendees are already on the ground in full force. NewsForge's Robin 'Roblimo' Miller caught up with O'Reilly's Media editor Andy Oram, Novell's marketing honcho Justin Steinman, and Steven J. Vaughan Nichols of Ziff Davis Internet, among others, to get their take on what they hope to gain from this year's Expo. He also gives readers a peek at the new Linux-powered Nokia 770 Internet Tablet." Newsforge and Slashdot are both owned by OSTG.

Stating the obvious, once any industry or niche market starts having expos you can be assured that it is mainstream and it already has a large consumer base. Take AVN Expo for example.
