I realized I used an old subject line for my previous request for marketing guidance for NECC DC. Here again with a better subject...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 8:39 PM, Mike Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:curiouslee@gmail.com">curiouslee@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>We are finishing prep on 20 XOs that are part of our Learning Club lending library, and will be able to deploy many of those in the Open Source Pavilion. Other organizers of the pavilion are working on finding one or more regular desktop PCs on which to demonstrate SoaS.<br>
<br>Some of us will likely present at the Unplugged "Fringe Festival" of NECC, but no one has stepped up to do a 30-minute general update on OLPC and Sugar Labs. And there's probably enough news out of both entities to do two sessions. I can do it, but am hanging back a bit because I want to wean myself from being the default DC presenter.<br>
<br>Question to the list, and specifically to Sean: What kind of exhibit would be desired for the pavilion? Like type of signage, handouts, etc? I can donate some money for printing. <br><br>I'm also going to reach out to Adam Holt, but I don't expect OLPC will have any strong directives.<br>
