I talked to a woman on the phone about it and she said the minimum size
for a booth is 100 square feet, at 50 dollars per square foot, which is
five thousand dollars...A friend of mine suggested I ask them if they
have booths available for non-profit groups, because a lot of the booths
are for companies like Novell and stuff.
I was told I'd receive an e-mail today with some more details, but
haven't gotten anything yet. I received a call from them while I was at
work, but couldn't answer the phone and they didn't leave a voicemail.
If I don't get an e-mail in the next day or so I'll call or e-mail them.
I was supposed to receive the e-mail from Christian, whose contact info
is listed here: http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/exhibitors//products.
I'll let everyone know what's up tomorrow.
