Will do, also we may have a new local RedHat contact as well I'll  
try, I'll let you know about that as well.

I believe I have them, I'll look for them first thing tomorrow.

I'm talking with one of the founders of the capBUG users group, they  
worked with us last year.

I'm working on putting together an email with the FOSE people that  
will cover one of our required promotion emails as well as to  
announce our booth and request more volunteers join the list.  I  
would say even if we have enough people (which I doubt) we should  
always try and bring in some fresh blood as well.

As for me, I don't know how many days if any I'll be able to do.   
Hopefully at least one.
