Re: [gugmasters] [Fwd: SCALE Calls For Non-Profit Exhibitors]



(top posting to keep some sanity)

Yeah I'm interested in taking point on the gnome booth again this
year. Hopefully
this time we can track down the official gnome event box and not have to
ninja-launch our own. Chris was a lifesaver with his sweet computer setup
and kinkos saved the day:

The gnome booth being next to the foresight booth last year worked really well.

Dave, could you introduce me to Eitan? We didn't get a chance to meet him
that I recall.
