Unfortunately I don't know much about setting a stand up at a convention but I would be willing to help out and I would like to know what getting a stand set up involves doing. I lived in Japan for 2 years so needless to say I'm up to date with the anime that's out there. I can speak laymen English, and geek, also some Japanese. I run Linux desktops at home and servers at work.
I think your inkling is right, there would be lots of linux users attending fairs like this it could be a great way to attract fresh blood or at least keep touch with other users out there.
