Manning GNOME booth @ LinuxLive, London Olympia, Oct 23..25

[Aidan Delaney <a j delaney brighton ac uk>]

Dear all,
	I previously stated that I'd cover 24th and 25th.  I'm now going to
take responsibility for the 23-25th including the event box (unless
someone already has).  I'd really appreciate it if others could spare
half a day to help on the stand.  If you're quite new to GNOME(-uk),
this is a great way to get involved in the project and to meet some
people in meatspace.
	The last year (which was 18 months ago) we had our Love/Hate wall which
was a good gimmik.  What I'd like to do this year is have three demos;
GNOME for corporate desktop, GNOME for developers (and cross-platform
development) and GNOME mobile.  This is based on my experience of what
the crowd at the Olympia have previously wanted to see.
	So one box running Fedora/Ubuntu in standard desktop mode.  With some
wifi hacking I'd hope that we could have a corporate email/calendar
sharing backend running i.e. hopefully Alex would be happy to host Bongo
on his stand and for us to consume the services on our stand.  This is
our corporate _stable_ system.  Another box running, essentially
GARGNOME, or something more bleeding-edge.  And a final box running only
the GNOME mobile libraries and some UI (maybe Maemo).  I've got an N810,
but it belongs to the research group I work with.  I'd be unhappy
letting members of the public have access to such a portable device.
	Does anyone know how we could restrict access to devices such as an
N810 or hopefully a FIC Freerunner, so that we could demo GNOME mobile
in a more mobile manner?
	Obviously, feel free to critique/improve on my ideas.
