Hi everyone. I just talked to Ellen Boland from LinuxWorld on the
phone, and she informed me that there is indeed a space on the Expo
floor for free, non-commercial projects. She said that the list of
projects for this area has been finalized, but to send her an e-mail
anyways, so she can forward it to the people who are in charge of
confirming booths, and if any openings come up, we can get one. I'll
ask her how likely it is that we'll get a booth, so we can gage how
likely it is that we'll need to share FreeBSD's booth and plan accordingly.
Someone mentioned that a requirement of having a booth is having someone
at the booth at all hours of the expo. This shouldn't be a problem, as
it seems we have at least one or two people from Boston interested, and
I know someone from Maryland who might make the trek up here to attend
as well. I am available pretty much anytime during the expo, but may
have to leave an hour or so early on a couple of days to make it to work.
Anywho, those are all the updates as of now, I'll let everyone know what
Ellen says.
