I think we have enough of us who can club together and pay for it, so once we are booked we can work out what to do. I am happy to ask around, see if people are interested. we could have 2 possible formats a set of talks through out the day or a few talks but tables set up, around the room and demo stuff. But also have talks going on at set times. e.g inkscape, gcompris, etc, I am sure we can muster together a few PC's between us to make this happen, Perhaps have an area with a pc set up for games, (tux racing etc) and see if we can keep any children occupied during the day, I have a few game controllers to hand.
