That's great Paul!  Put me down.

I think it's the same as last year in that we get 2 free T-Shirts.  I
ended up dividing the cost of the additional shirts amongst all the
helpers.

I have some of the stall decorations from last year - laminated prints
of various FOSS Logos - stowed away and ready for re-use.

No sweat.  I agree with running a stall at a computer fair again - it
was an excellent opportunity for "high touch" contact with an IT-savvy
audience.

That said, it's not necessarily an audience of IT
influencers/decison-makers.  Ideas on an activity that can reach them
are most welcome.  Having SFD mentioned in local media is important in
this regard.

Cheers, Dave.

PS. Are you sure there's no dancing on in Gundagai this year?  :P
