Somebody get in touch with them and get thigs confirmed so that we can
work out a plan.

GNU/Hurd is good. What about GNU/Linux ;) I guess we can keep a Debian
box and show off some of the awesome  free software that we have
[blender, GNU classpath,  gnash, etc. for example].

I guess the LA guys will provide a PC for sure. Better ask them about that too.

I volunteer to do the Flex banner design. Let's see if I get some time
in the next couple of days, I might come up with some Inkscape foo.

How much does that cost? May be FSF-I itself can pay?
