While I will unfortunately not be there, I wholly and unstintingly support the above request, and encourage one and all to go stand in the booth. I spent several hours at the OSGeo booth at AAG earlier this year -- Alex and Karsten and others were there. Man, what a blast. It was just great hanging out with them, and to vocally support and "sell" open source services, products and concepts to the visitors.

Just go there, show your presence, talk to visitors, tell them about your work, about stuff that can be done with open geospatial. Trust me, you will have a great time else you can ask for your money back.

Puneet.
