Greetings- I am writing on behalf of the admin team that is currently organizing NYCBSDCon 2008. We currently have Columbia University booked for October 11th and 12th of this year and among everything else going on, I would like to get the ball rolling on FreeBSD's presence. In 2006, Alfred Perlstein and I had received donations from FreeBSD Mall and everything we sold at the conference was donated to The FreeBSD Foundation. (Over $600 dollars) Check out the table we had setup: http://flickr.com/photos/skreuzer/283060428/ In 2006, we waited until the last minute to put that together the table and to avoid the rush, I thought I would start reaching out to people to see if they are interested in assisting. I am currently looking for people who are planning on attending the conference and would be interested in manning the table to sell FreeBSD related products. In addition, I am looking for people who would be able to reach out to FreeBSD vendors who may be willing to donate, or provide us discounts on products that could be sold to raise money for the FreeBSD foundation. Also, if you have any other ideas on thing we can have in terms of demos and whatnot, please let me know. In 2006, the NetBSD team had a few pieces of exotic hardware running NetBSD. It was pretty cool to watch a dreamcast pxeboot of an ultra 2. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you all. -- Steven Kreuzer http://www.exit2shell.com/~skreuzer
