These guys have been really silent.

Goodies ?? To give away ? Can we afford that at this point of time ? 

In terms of Demos a lot has been talked about 2.5 , yeah that would be a
good idea.

Dashboard would be a good app to demo to people.A killer application
like none other.But it needs a network.

Some on the spot demos of RAD on GNOME using Glade and Anjuta, I think
this would be a great hit among the developer crowd.

But cant someone negotiate with LinuxAsia 2004 and negotiate a reduction
of stall costs ? Eg : At Linux Bangalore/2003 we had given out stalls
for OpenSource projects free at the prime area of the expo.Can we
negotiate something with them ?
