I’ve missed the last few WISPAmericas, but it felt to me like using the name Animal Farm was more to honor the history than to capitalize on the name as advertising. They could have called it something else, one of the “tracks”, but it made attendees who used to go to Animal Farm in spring feel good that it wasn’t totally gone and forgotten. Kind of a lifetime achievement aware.
I say that not knowing anything about the arrangement between Chuck and WISPA, that’s just the vibe I got when I went to the shows. Does George Orwell also get a quid or a quo?

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...
