	It would be nice to have some names that are recognizable to the public
(ie: Red Hat) there.  Linux Mall will get some free advertisement as well.
	Damn, I wish I could be there.
	However, I do agree with the sentiments of David.  Keep any releases nice.
 Do not resort to name calling (it appears childish, whatever we may really
think).  Come across in a professional manner.
	One more thing, for everybody planning on being there.  It's a real
possibility that MS people will try to have you removed from the property.
Property management will back them, since they are paying for the space.
Be prepared, and Don't cause trouble.  We want to make Linux advocates the
good guys, not a bunch of radicals.  If asked to leave, do so.  Maybe
retire to someplace neutral where people can gather after Microsoft's show
and hear what you have to say.  There is a restaurant near by (although I
don't recall the name off hand) and I'm certain they'll love the business...
