I reckon we should try to include the following in the booth:

- General information about FOSS
- A wall of fame for Aussie projects and developers
- A wall of fame for the usergroups around the country
- Free CDs - Maybe OpenCD project, or Ubuntu

Particularly getting the LUGs to have something cool to put on the stand,
that would rock!

What does everyone else think? I think it is a great way to both show off
the soft benefits of FOSS, seeing everyone around us will be very business
benefits focused as well as sending a strong message that we have a strong
community, and some real local talent that is often overlooked.

They also will be saving some rooms for some LPI exams (this is apparently
part of the LWE normal activities) so the LA education dudes will be running
exams there. Details to come, but start studying up the LPI curriculum if
you are interested. 

Cheers,
Pia
