G'day Caryl, Answering your specific questions;
> What do we have to "market" and who is our target audience? Sugar, Sugarizer, and Music Blocks. Teachers of elementary school age students. > Do we have any compelling stories to tell... Mexico? Haiti? > Pakistan? Or??? I don't, personally. I'm never amazed at what children can do, given half a chance. More amazing for me is what children can't do because they've been told they can't. > Will anyone else besides the folks in SoCal be here to help "man" > the booth for 3-Days(3/8-3/10)? Not I, too far. > Do we have anything special to offer as "swag"? No. You might make some business cards with the Sugar Labs logo, your name as a member, and a QR code for the web site. One is attached, or use a QR code generator online and add the Sugar Labs logo to the centre. > What new software can we show? Music Blocks and Sugarizer are newer than before. > Running on what new hardware? Any hardware with a modern web browser. An OLPC NL3 is suitable. Don't use an OLPC XO to show Music Blocks or Sugarizer; isn't the target and doesn't work. > Can we offer some hands-on experiences for people there? You may. Especially also provide a return path for feedback. None of the above needs the board or marketing team to assent or remove any blockages; use your initiative. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/
