Robert - have you heard whether we've definitely got the market stall  
spot again?

I can probably bring a couple of tables and maybe even a stall /  
gazebo thing if it looks like its going to rain.

I was also going to try to burn a pile of OpenDiscs for current  
windows users, and some FreeSmug CDs for Mac users.  We had a few of  
these last year and they went down really well.  I can also bring  
along a couple of laptops and some spare batteries which should  
hopefully run for a few hours.  I don't suppose anyone has access to  
a generator :-)

It would be nice to have a good selection of different hardware  
running linux.  Does anyone have one of the linux based  
ultraportables (EEPC, Wind etc.).  This would be a good example of  
linux going mainstream.

It would probably also be good publicity to play the Stephen Fry  
"Happy birthday to GNU" video which explains free software and gives  
us celebrity chic!

If we're going to do helium balloons then I suppose we need to get  
those sorted.  Any suggestions for what should go on them, or  
recommendations of where to get them?

TTFN

Simon.
