[sf-lug] Bay Area LUGs @ LinuxWorld

[Andrew Fife]

To clarify, BALUG already has a booth.  We just need to confirm that we
want it and coordinate with other LUGs if a folks want a joint booth.

[Caution: multiple lists on To:/Cc: lines]

How about a combined shared LUGs booth/table?

Many LUGs may not have enough resource to staff a booth/table for the
whole event by themselves, but many/most can cover at least some hours,
and likely also provide some materials (e.g. flyers/handouts).

This worked fairly well last year.  Would someone (perhaps from SF-LUG?)
want to take lead on obtaining/coordinating such a booth?

Also, looks like Debian may not have a booth this year (LinuxWorld
conflicts with Deb Camp - so most of the otherwise available DDs will be
at Deb Camp and not LinuxWorld) ... but BAD would likely also be
interested in some BAD/Debian representation at LinuxWorld too.
