I should also add that if we can get a decently-sized group to attend, we
can have our table rental fees waived. Computer fairs are a great way to
find cheap and interesting hardware, so you won't just be there for
Software Freedom Day :)
Thought: How about we try to provide a Linux compatibility checking service,
potentially to both vendors and customers? We can test laptops with LiveCDs,
and random bits of hardware on our demo machines. Plug it in, see if it just
works, or fiddle around with drivers and the interweb to see if there's some
kind of support out there at all. It would fit nicely with the market feel,
and is a nice outgrowth from the now almost pointless 'installfest'... "Hey,
remember back when we had to help people install the whole thing? Ha ha ha!"
