Thx Ben!

I did email Jonathan before, some time before the FUDcon, to let him
know I would be attending the event and had already registered.  I am
planning to offer live installations and support at the booth/table.
I will be providing SWAG and also hoping to acquire booth equipment to
polish up the presentation of the area we will be using as space.

I am planning to provide multimedia equipment so that we can have some
touch screen activity, internet access and also feature fedora
marketing.  I will try to have as many slide decks available as
possible to keep the variety.

I am extremely familiar with the city of Worcester, and know it VERY
well.  It is only 45 minutes from Providence and thus I have close
personal friends (from Harvard and MIT) in the area and some families
too.

It should be a fun event and I feel better prepared to make it
organized and successful and really grab as much attention for fedora
as I can and hopefully convert many laptops on the side.

Quick question, can I have fedora business cards printed up?  I would
like to have something to hand out for contact information, especially
to any business people who attend.

Let me know please!  Thx alot!
