Wine booth/BOF and Linuxworld San Francisco, Aug 2008?

[Dan Kegel]

Wine has come a long way, and will have just had its 1.0
release (knock on wood).  So perhaps this is a good year
to have a .org booth.  What do folks think?

We used to have a Wine booth at LinuxTag in Germany for many years. I know 
2007 didn't work out because neither Uwe Bonnes nor the itomic folks could 
make it. Still, those folks might be able to say something about how busy the 
Wine booth usually was.

Also, in my experience you need at least three people to man an expo booth.

I think a booth at Linuxworld would be nice publicity for Wine 1.0, but only 
if we can get our act together and have a sufficient number of people around 
to demo apps and answer questions.

Cheers,
Kai

Living in the bay area, I volunteer myself to go.

and thought I'd relay it in case someone still wanted to apply
for a booth and hadn't done so yet:
