Which reminds me: The SELF report:

 - So, on Saturday morning (very early), I drove to the SouthEast LinuxFest to man the booth:
 https://twitpic.com/cw1lkg

The booth was open from 9-5; I was the only worker for the PG booth. (Drove back home Saturday evening; *long* day.)

 - SELF seemed smaller to me this year (in total number of attendees; there seemed to be as many or more vendor displays than usual). I still haven't figured out why a free conference (within 2 hours of Raleigh) draws so poorly.

 - The PG booth got a lot of traffic, partially due to the sousaphone (which in my experience has been incredibly effective in bringing people by the booth), but mostly due to being 2 booths over from the lockpicking/lock enthusiasts table (who had beer/alcohol, although I'm not sure how). The stickers were the most popular item (by far); I did give out a lot of the "10 Reasons..." and "9.2" flyers. The PGOpen conference cards also were fairly popular, and I discussed the conference with many people (particularly one coder, who told me that their business has a set of Postgres databases that record *every* point-of-sale record at every AMC theatre location; I told him [pointedly, repeatedly] to *definitely* submit a presentation on that to Open).

I'll be bringing more than half of everything you sent me (and, of course, the banner, which was surprisingly difficult to keep mounted, as it kept pulling off the table) to Mark at Portland next week. Plenty of everything left, although you'll probably want more stickers and Open flyers for OSCON. (I didn't get around to making Keep Calm stickers, but it was just as well, as we had so much left over.)
