This last year, a few other BSD advocates helped run the BSD advocacy booth and we raised a couple hundred dollars that we donated to two *BSD projects. I also gave a lecture introducing BSD at the conference two years ago to around 15 attendees. Then last year, I gave a BSD lecture to a full classroom of over 65 attendees. Is anyone interested in giving a lecture about BSD? Can someone help with organizing and running a booth about BSD? Can you donate or burn CDs? Print handouts? Make US letter size handouts that others can print? Print posters? The call for presenters and exhibitors email is at http://www.peakserv.com/pipermail/fest-list/2003-December/000971.html The event is April 17, 2004 in Bellingham, Washington, in between Seattle and Vancouver, BC. Last years attendance was estimated to be over 1100 people.
