Hold on a second. We can't be everywhere all the time. People go to these conferences and some if not most don't get paid for it. The fact that we didn't have a booth at LWE SF is not a huge loss to me, but we are a large enough project to have one. Unfortunately we are not a well funded enough project to create a good booth. And some of these booths, not LWSF, require to be paid for and not a cheap sum. I agree with Simon that we could of had a booth and sold t-shirts and probably would have made a reasonable sum of money, but we didn't. We did have volunteers and we should thank them for doing what they did, because it was probably all they could do. Sam your posts lately seem of deep disinterest bread by hopelessness. Keep the faith, everything goes through ups and downs and we just need to find a good income stream to be able to support these conferences.
As far as going through a 2.0 launch I am sure alot of the people there have heard of or tried the 2.0 beta, Fedora Core 4 ships with it installed, so most of the questions will be when is it going to be released. At least that was my experience at OSCON. This is an answer we really can't give them especially in the marketing department as we can't say how fast our coders will work. Which brings me back to my previous point. We need at least one developer at these conferences. That would make the biggest difference of them all.
