I think we missed the deadline for requesting materials, but since we
don't have a firm plan for using said materials, it's not necessarily a
bad thing.  We can still participate without materials (i.e. create our
own) if we still want to participate.

I went in 2005 and had a great time.  CINLUG had a booth there and while
the booth wasn't worth it for a non-Ohio organization, attending the
conference certainly was.
