[volunteers] Savig this thing was Re: May OS Panel Fears

[Mehma Sarja]

Hi People,

We had 5 panelists. One, QNX, dropped out yesterday, two others have 
confirmed (see previous messages) and I'm after the last two. I'd like 
atleast three panelists.

Let me offer again and ask again...
My current employer is willing to sponsor and put out water, sodas and 
snacks if the members are willing. The issue is Symantec cafeteria rules 
may not allow. Someone please do some legwork and let me know? If 
allowed, I can plan to set a table out with a sponsor banner hanging 
from the table and some brochures. Nothing more.

Also, are we looking at 100 or so people ?
