It was for FSF/GNU too. Thanks again to Adam, Kirsten and MJR, and 
thanks for hosting the FSF. I would like to bring FSF merchandise to the 
expo in April as well. Having a big combined stall can make a difference 
as the GNU merchandise creates interest and a link to the philosophy 
which underpins the AFFS. This also helps aggregate staffing effort.

I had opportunities to talk to editors/ journalists and others 
interested in free software and the softpatent issue. I have also 
arranged a book distribution deal from meeting a book store proprietor.

If 2 adjoining stalls can be organised for AFFS and GNU, we could make 
good use of the space and increase visibility. By then, I will have new 
book titles and possibly new T-shirts and mugs.

MJR gave me 100 leaflets. As opportunites arise, eg at upcoming RMS 
talks, I can send/take leaflets with the GNU merchandise. It might be 
worth sending / giving me more.
