Yeah, that was the main value in doing the show. 
I didn’t realize WispAmerica continued using the name after I quit supporting 
them.

Perhaps I need to be having this discussion with them.  

There were supposed to be certain quid pro quos...

One of the highlights … perhaps THE highlight … of Animal Farm was getting to 
throw questions at actual product managers and developers from Motorola (now 
Cambium).

 

Sort of like “Question Time” in the UK Parliament.  Is that the one where they 
ask incredibly rude questions of the Prime Minister, or is that something else?

Chuck – In all seriousness, we don’t mean to offend, knock off or breach any 
kind of trust...

 

This is the WISPAmerica Animal Farm session (a direct descendant of yours and 
Jaime’s creation).

 

Everyone is welcome. If you’ve not attended the last couple of years, I always 
give you credit during my introduction.

I got a big angry lawyer letter for sharing a Moto/Cambium firmware link.  We 
should start a club :)

  It was first held at the Airport Hilton, it was called AnimalFarm and that 
  suggestion came from Jaime.  It was later held at several other venues.  It 
  was only the latter days where it was held at the fairpark.

  Motorola expressly and specifically disavowed any connection with AnimalFarm 
  but they did send people.  I tried to get Mot to sponsor a users group 
  meeting during the Tucson channel partner meetings and Mot said legally 
  there were too many problems.

  So, I took it upon myself to rent the conference room and invite everyone to 
  come.  We were the pigs taking over the farm from the farmer.  Thus 
  AnimalFarm.  And thus trademarked by WB Manufacturing as it was our trade 
  show and our main means of marketing each year.

  But not the first time I have been knocked off by Mot and its descendants... 
  At least WispAmerica asked permission...

  Someone??? It's me, Chuck!

  We've called it Animal Farm since it was held at the Utah State Fairpark... 
  you used to join us and speak about the history, etc. I miss that.

  In any case, we've virtualized it this year. As such, we'll record it and 
  post it to our forum.

  If you'd like to attend, please visit our website to see what we're doing to 
  virualize the WISPAmerica experience (and sign up to attend):

  Thanks!

  Really, someone is using my AnimalFarm trademark without permission?
