For those who have already responded to this thread, I didn't realize I 
wouldn't be cc'd if I'm not subscribed. I'm subscribed now, so I'll see 
the responses.

Here's an update:

So far this year for North America, there are confirmed *BSD booths for:

Linuxworld Boston	April 3 -6
OSCON, Portland		July 24 - 28
Linuxworld San Fran	August 14 - 17

All projects are welcome to share the booth and we like to see 
representatives from each project. We did that for last year's OSCON, had 
a great time and impressed attendees (there are still nasty rumours out 
there that the BSD projects are fragmented and don't work with each other).

I try to generate press for each event as well as do writeups afterwards 
at http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/unix/bsd. If a project already has their own 
booth lined up for an event, that is great, and if you let me know about 
it, I will generate press about any BSD-related booth on any continent.

For each event, the conference organizers need the list of names of those 
who will help man the booth. Those who are interested in Linuxworld 
Boston, email me with the day(s) you are interested in. You don't have to 
be available each day, but I need to know your name at least 2 weeks in 
advance of the event. I will do similar calls as the other events draw 
near.

It is great for people to show up with brochures and CDs for your project. 
Last year, the NetBSD people brought in some cool hardware which made some 
great demonstrations (demonstrations are always a crowd drawer). Any swag 
for giveaways is also appreciated.
