Yes, do attend this year's event. ;-)

Remember the rules of BarCamp^WFOSS Fair!

1: You do talk about FOSS Fair.
2: You do blog about FOSS Fair.
3: If you want to present, you must write your topic and
name in a presentation slot at the FOSS Fair Welcome session.
4: Only three word intros.
5: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.
6: No pre-scheduled presentations. But do signify your interest
and session ideas on the FOSS Fair wiki.
7: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or
until they run into another presentation slot. (Normally 50
minutes for the FOSS Fair.)
8: If this is your first time at FOSS Fair, you HAVE to
present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to
present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive
participant.)

I have plenty of posters if anyone wants to help get those distributed
as well. Shoot me an email and we can work out a back alley to exchange
the stuff.
