Re: [ossig] Thanks for FOSSCON

Another thing I feel would be nice is to have some sort of booth/area 
showcasing new OSS software, those that people normally don't see. What 
would be the point of showing off samba when you know everyone is using 
it and everyone have seen a linux/kde desktop. We need to show people 
alternative OS such as the various BSDs, syllable and so on.
