[volunteers] Fwd: .org Pavilion Call for Papers Now Open

[SVLUG President]

Edward - that's awesome!  You've asked more questions than you've answered,
but that's sort of expected at this stage of the game.

I'm unsure on the distros angle - handing out disks can be a blessing but
also a curse.  Some visitors simply grab one of everything.  That's from
experience, manning the Ubuntu booth at the .ORG pavilion last year.

Maybe we can combine the Ubuntu CA evangelism into the booth... but I hadn't
defaulted to doing that.

Thanks for picking up the ball on this - please click through the booth
submission process, and by all means cc: me on any correspondence with
Allison or others at IDG.

Thanks!
-Paul
