Yes you are right - that is why I'll offer it back to the OpenOffice.org
community manager for their use - don't misunderstand my position on
this, I harbor no ill will to OO.o or Oracle - I learned a long time ago
how to compete with friends, if OO.o folks are in a booth, or just at
the show, do not be surprised it we all go out for a beer, together, at
some point.

Alright - tell you what get a quote for what you think is needed and
feel free to post it to the list, I'm sure it can be handled by a few of
us kicking in to cover the total.

If you want to do that great, there is usually a few extras to be
"found", but not having to scavenge would be nice. We all want to hit
presentations so it just ends up being a round robin affair, but there
will be a few times when we are all together. As it stands right now
there will be 3 of us, at the show, for the full 3 days and 1 local
community member that will do a few hours here and there.

For myself, I fly in noon the day before and leave AM the day after, I
needed to pass on a room at the Hilton opting for one reasonably (3
miles) close by, at a Ramada.
