Call me or email me to let me know that you've got something for printing and I'll do the job of printing it: at Kinko's. I may be able to afford color, but I'll need reimbursement. If it's black and white, I'll pay out of my pocket by way of helping out. Offer good for both BALUG and BAD.
Good tho't re fortune cookies. When/how are they coming, by the way?
Bill Kendrick has a web page for scheduling, he's maintaining it as people send him info. the web page is http://www.lugod.org/projects/lwe/
I think the common LUG booth number is 644, not 640.

I'm finishing up a bit of Bay Area Debian (BAD) materials, but after that I'll probably do something at least somewhat similar for BALUG.
If someone wants to jump in on doing materials (or volunteering to print, photocopy, and cut) feel free to let me/us know (can also give me a ring at 1-510-883-0772 (home/msg.). I've got some graphics that'll get used to tie in with the fortune cookie thingy (some of which will go up on the BALUG web site soon, ... before the Expo opens on Tuesday, anyway).
Anyway, basic plan for BALUG (and similar for the BAD stuff I'm doing), finish up preparation of the materials (short of photocopying, cutting, and perhaps printing) before tomorrow morning, then print them out (if not already printed), and use those as "masters", photocopy them, and then slice 'em up into 1/4 sheets.
For LinuxWorld Expo, I may not make it there quite as soon as the Expo opens on Tuesday, but I expect to make my first visit to the Expo on Tuesday not long after it opens. I'd drop them off then (and likewise the BAD stuff). For the BALUG stuff, I'd probably also write up an "instruction" sheet for the booth attendee(s) (might not always have a BALUG person there, but hopefully have someone from some LUG(s) there at any given time). Instruction sheet might be most handy in handling of fortune cookies - we probably want to avoid someone just dumping 'em all at the front of the table and having 'em all gone within the first hour or two. Probably best to hold them back a bit, and "ration them" per day/hour, ... so they can be slowly given out throughout the show (and so folks don't horde 'em or grab big bunches of 'em). Between BALUG and GroundWork OpenSource, not sure precisely what the plan is as far as what percentage of cookies get distributed from what booth, ... that might also depend on the shared LUG booth staffing (and timing).
Did we or anyone ever put up a wiki page to coordinate the shared LUG booth "staffing" ... or (Jim? or someone else?) is that being coordinated via e-mail or other means?
Quoting jim stockford jim@well.com:
The common LUG booth is #640 I believe you're bringing some hardcopy promo for BALUG, yes? If so, what arrangements do you want to make to get it there?
- bring it whenever you come to see the show
- meet somebody pre-show
- other
