Yes, LinuxWorld does make booths available at no cost to open source
organizations.  They do come with certain requirements, however, such as
that the booth needs to be staffed at all hours of the expo.  We have
done this before at other events, but we usually try to get at least one
developer onboard and committed to the event before we try to sign up
for a booth.  It may also be too late to still qualify for a free booth,
but I don't know that.

However, if you are willing to organize the whole booth by yourself and
want to take responsibility, please send an email to
communication-exec@netbsd.org and we'll try to help you and get some
NetBSD merchandise to Boston.
