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

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

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  Yeah, I think what we had over a year ago now is too outdated 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

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