Demos

• Possible screencast on OpenModeller - timlinux
• OGR, PostGIS and KML - darkblue_b
• OpenJump - Landon
• QGIS/Grass/Spatialite - Alex

I'd definitely like to make sure OpenLayers and QGis are represented well.. I feel like I would be a better rep for OpenLayers myself. Also thinking of an idea for "big picture" on OSGeo using the Wiki, and the mailing lists activity levels -Brian

Equipment

• Mac Book Pro laptop 10.5, with Ubuntu Virtual Machine
• Live DVD dedicated machine - Alex
• Ubuntu 8.10 QGIS, Grass, Postgis, maybe a locally running Openlayers example - Alex

Volunteers

• Landon Blake(Sunburned Surveyor)
• Alex Mandel - Should be able to make it one day and bring all the California/Exhibition Pack, +some other Davis folks
