What, like OSCON?   <grin>

Due to exceptionally high demand for .ORG booths this year, we got bounced
from having a booth (also due to a snag with my old fax machine).   As it
turns out, being with eDB has some significant benefits, not the least of
which is that we'll be on the main show floor which the .ORGs will *not*.
Also eDB is making us some nice signage and CDs.

It also makes our booth setup etc. considerably easier, as it did at OSCON, if
PG-supporting companies are willing to help.

Well, maybe next year we can talk about a Foundation booth with all of the
companies who desire involved.
