We'll be there with a booth, and we talk a good deal about Wine
(although we also have an obvious commercial bias).

And, for obvious reasons, IDG wouldn't be cheerful to hear
a request from me for a no cost non profit booth, so I've never
requested a booth just for Wine.

But I think it would be great if others wanted to get together
at these shows to evangelize.  The main piece of advice I would
give you is to plan pretty far ahead; IDG at least likes the
requests in several months in advance (and I believe they are tightening
up the requirements to get a .org booth; I've heard through the
grapevine that they're not quite as generous lately as they once were).

Cheers,
