There is also the event box, which will be available for LW SF and OSCON.

We still need a brave volunteer to drive. If you've been looking for an
easy way to dive into GNOME marketing, and you're planning on going to
LW SF, shout. If no-one shouts, well, no stand.

I'm not sure. I don't think that there has been any groundswell interest
in organising one.

In fact, our US event organisation is about the worst anywhere - in
France, gnome-fr more or less makes sure we have a stand at every
important event, in Germany, GNOME-de does the same thing. We have no
local US infrastructure for these kinds of things in the US. Anyone
fancy founding a GNOME-US?

Cheers,
Dave.
