I would like to volunteer to help with the conference.
I’d prefer an assignment in the “Usher” or “Setup/Cleaning” categories.
I am available for a 4-hour block any time during the conference. I might be able to do more if you come up short on manpower.

hello
We have a student from our linnux class who is presenting at your conference. We would like the other 10 students in the class to be able to attend and see him present.
Do you know the time that Christian Horne will be presenting.
Is it possible to purchase the 5$ ticket for that presentation?
We would like our linnex students to see their fellow classmate present in such an interesting forum.
Thanks
