We try to tell people to limit themselves to one 3'x7' table. Whatever 
doesn't go you should take with you. We have two carts however you should 
only use one of them so that your loading process does not create a DOS 
for others.

In order to optimize your give-away success I suggest that you reply with 
your inventory and be there for as much as the installfest time as 
possible. The installfest is open from 10am-5pm. I say this because I 
vaguely recall someone showing up with ten computers that he wanted to give 
away less than an hour before closing time.
