Our application for a booth at OSCON has been approved. I shall start
making arrangements for the items we'll need.

VERY IMPORTANT: We need people to help staff the booth. I can't do it
all myself. I have two possible volunteers, but as no one can be sure
this far in advance that they'll be able to attend, and no one should
be expected to spend all their time at the booth, we need more people
who can put in at least an hour's work at a time (such as lunch, so we
can take turns eating) and/or help with setup (some time Tuesday
afternoon) and/or pulldown (Thursday evening).
