Perfect. I note that IBM has a booth but neither Sun nor Novell do.. At least at this point.Alright here's a conference that I would be willing to guarantee to attend. It might be our best bet in getting a wide educational audience at least in the United States. NEA is a national organization. There will be at least 13,000 educators at this conference. I think that it comes at a time when 2.0 will be already out and we will be able to demonstrate the new product. The people who go to this conference are the most influential teachers in there districts.
Booths would be at least $1200. Which is a considerable sum for just a booth but it is a way we can get US national attention to educators.
What do you think?

Perhaps we need to approach NEA as a "not for profit" organisation to see if they would give us a dispensation on the booth fee or at least a large discount.
Failing that, we see if we can get Sun and Novells Marketing to front up with part of the fee each and we tout Novell Open Office and Star Office in parallel.
In fact if the corporate users of OOo, say Redhat, Mandrake, Linspire, Novell, Corel, IBM and so on, each parted with a little bit of cash, probably less than their daily coffee budget we could do the job properly.
Or we dip into the paypal acc if the marketing team think it's worthwhile.
Such a conference would need a budget tho... a serious one.
