-While its great an all to think about bringing some big names in, and that would be inspiring. At the same time this is a local event, the purpose is to advocate to our local community, imho I think having someone connected with it would be ideal.

!!zcat's thoughts on structure;
* Primarily I'd like this to run 'trade show' style. Various businesses are allocated table space and are responsible for their own display. This means our SFD event gets to have lots of stuff on display but WLUG don't have to do any of the work involved, or as little work as possible. +.5 (Think this year maybe it should be on donation/ability to pay basis)
