Realizing that most people are like me and won't search the mailing list 
for a list of conferences, I started a wiki page for conferences and for 
people to sign up to organize a GNOME booth at said conferences.  It's 
sparse right now, but it still is there.

Here's my plug for Ohio Linux Fest too.  It's gonna rock.  Last year we 
broke the 1000 person barrier and had live nude penguins (jackass 
penguins at that!).  We could use some GNOMErs to help me work the booth 
and do some talks at the conference.  In particular, lots of people 
liked bling, so if someone wants to do a talk called "Beautifully Simple 
Bling", that would rock my world.
