Good points.  How about this...

In exchange for $250 worth of beer, the recruiter gets 2 slides that are
rotated on the screen during dinner.  The $250 explicitly does not get
them any special time at the microphone, but they would be welcome to use
their 60 second announcement to mention jobs.  Also, the job postings
probably should meet one of the following criteria:

1)Job responsibilities must be at least 50% focused on F/OSS
-Everyone will be happier if the jobs are relevant 

2)Be at an organization who's primary goal is producing F/OSS
-Allows for an organization like Nagios.com to recruit for an attorney if
they are foolish enough to think that many practicing attorneys attend
BALUG

3)Be at an organization who's primary goal is promoting F/OSS
-Allow for organizations like like O'Reilly or the Linux Foundation to
recruit 

I think part of my motivation is that I want to send out an email with the
subject line saying "BALGU: Free As In Beer... Literally."  :)
