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.
