It will either be a 10x10 booth or a 6' table.  We're working on booth
rentals now.

> 2.  We figure out what we can do with that space.

Electricity will be available, as will wireless networking.  It
appears there *may* be wired networking availability, but we've yet to
test it out.

I have an OLPC XO that could be used until Saturday, where I plan to
use it in the try-it lab.  I also have an EEEPC, which currently runs
F-9.  I won't have need of it that week except on Saturday, so if you
would like it.

I thought there were already advertisements for a creation station (or
a laptop, which would probably be fine). Here's what I found:

> * What schwag is already headed for this show?

Alex Maier(sp?) sent me 100 DVDs and 300 CDs which should arrive any
day now.  I'll check the shipping status today.

Cheers,
