13 This is OT, but is adelie still doing Gentoo stuff? I haven't heard
14 much since LWE 2 years ago..

22 I think that is where the take-home documentation is crucial. We can
23 give specifics about our distribution (what makes it unique) that the
24 person may not catch on the floor, or may not have time to talk to the
25 devs about. If this has to take up more than one page, then that's
26 fine (a front/back page might do it). We've got a couple of people in
27 our publications office who might be willing to help out with a flashy
28 design too. (they did the side banners for our LWE-SF display, we can
29 reuse those this year as well)

39 Cool. Yeah, I think what we had over a year ago now is too outdated
40 even if we found it, so why not start from scratch on this?

42 FYI, here is a link to the slideshow that we had running on a pedestal
43 at SF. We asked for content from all of the sub-projects, only hardened
44 responded, so that's why there are a couple of slides that focus on that
45 project. (content by me, design by blackace)
