Let me know if there is anything I can do (besides wearing my T-shirt :-)

I will be attending both BOSC and its parent conference, Intelligent Systems
for Molecular Biology (~770 attendees), with a delegation from the South
African National Bioinformatics Institute.  There will be at least two avid
FreeBSD users in our ranks - myself included.

Should the BOSC organisers not reply (and I don't see why they wouldn't) we
could possibly hand out material on a more casual basis?
