[DC LoCo] Software Freedom Day / Takoma Park Folk Festival... Thinking ahead.

[Marjorie]

LOL I was just thinking about Software Freedom Day/Takoma park events ^_^
It's been a while since I last attended.

I didn't know it was that expensive to have a booth! I wonder what would
qualify for a "Multi-Level Exhibitor" cause that one is also in the $200
($275 to be exact for a 10' x 10'). Also, item 15 on the 2011 Fair Exhibitor
Rules, says no roaming solicitations :-\

You know how we can spread the word at the Arlington Fair for free ^_^
if we submit crafty FOSS-related items in each competition category.
