Oooo Buttons.  How about a few of the giant Wikipedia stickers? Those are always favorites (and generally hidden away for good measure).

Anyways, I was curious myself if anything was going to be happening this year.  So I'm totally game to help out how ever is needed.  I can gather desktop computers to be used (if someone can find monitors) and related networking gear - should it be useful.

There actually is an 'education' day beforehand where exhibitors can
get in front of a massive school audience.

I think aligning with any other volunteer groups would be fab too -
students for free culture?  EFF and creative commons will probably
have tables set up there.  Being close by would make a lot of sense.
Wish I could commit some more resources, but I can say that this time
next year we should be in a better position to have people and stuff
to share.

That being said, I could probably provide a few more bags of buttons
etc.

This is a test of the emergency sig system.  

Oh, and the following location only accurate +/- 100 miles.  So if you're coming to get me, better send a nuke.
