[Fose] FOSE 2010 (long)

[Nick Danger]

Are these going to be web accessible? I don't think anyone wants to 
bring in/bring out machines and monitors and we'll probably use our 
various laptops. The fact that we have a network connection is awesome 
as we haven't had one in the past. If we can set these two machines up 
on a network for use in the demos listed below, then we don't have to 
move the machines in or out.
