To clarify, BALUG already has a booth. We just need to confirm that we want it and coordinate with other LUGs if a folks want a joint booth.

[Caution: multiple lists on To:/Cc: lines]
How about a combined shared LUGs booth/table?
Many LUGs may not have enough resource to staff a booth/table for the whole event by themselves, but many/most can cover at least some hours, and likely also provide some materials (e.g. flyers/handouts).
This worked fairly well last year. Would someone (perhaps from SF-LUG?) want to take lead on obtaining/coordinating such a booth?
Also, looks like Debian may not have a booth this year (LinuxWorld conflicts with Deb Camp - so most of the otherwise available DDs will be at Deb Camp and not LinuxWorld) ... but BAD would likely also be interested in some BAD/Debian representation at LinuxWorld too.

Quoting Andrew Fife afife@untangle.com:
Does BALUG booth at LinuxWorld in the .org pavillion? If so we need to act quickly by 5/26.
Maybe something in conjunction with SF-LUG, SVLUG, CABAL & PenLUG?

I hope that you will be able to participate. Projects accepting our offer of free exhibit space in the pavilion must be willing to assist us in promoting LinuxWorld with a banner ad on their home page. Please RSVP by May 26, 2008 via email to alison_dwelley@idg.com. If you are not able to participate in the event this year, please let me know so that we can make arrangements for another organization to take that place.

We are very excited to have you be a part of our 2008 .org Pavilion and look forward to seeing you at the San Francisco LinuxWorld event.
