asterisk users - Jul 2009 - Open Source Pavilion at AstriCon: Your project wanted!

Each year at AstriCon, we have an Open Source Pavilion which showcases  
projects which are adjuncts to Asterisk, or which are directly  
relevant to improving the utility and features of Asterisk.  It gives  
smaller projects the chance to have some space to display what they're  
doing, and to give demonstrations to the AstriCon attendees who are  
interested in some of the things happening in the open-source  
ecosystem that surrounds Asterisk.

I'd like to mention that we have a few open spots in the Open Source  
Pavilion still, and I'd like to solicit ideas for people who would  
like to have the opportunity to put your OSS project in front of the  
AstriCon attendee audience.

What your project should have:

  - No significant corporate sponsorship
  - Open Source License
  - Running code
  - Integration or usefulness with Asterisk, relevant to attendees

What you need for the booth:

  - Banner of some sort, with your project name/URL
  - Single-sheet handouts (both sides, preferably) with information on  
your project (200-300 sheets)
  - A knowledgeable person staffing the booth at any time that the  
show floor is open
  - Hopefully some sort of demo or "hands-on" display

What you get:
  - A 6' table on the Expo floor
  - Electricity
  - Wireless Internet access
  - Two chairs
  - A huge crowd of highly intelligent, curious people who want to  
know what you're doing
  - A pass for 2 for the expo (or a special discount rate if you want  
to upgrade to sessions)

We have a very limited number of tables, though we hope to get many  
projects on board.  There is a chance your project may not be approved  
even though it's the coolest thing since sliced bread - but we'll try  
to get as many people on board as possible.  Please don't take it  
personally if we run out of space before we run out of project  
proposals!  There are so many great OSS things out there, but so few  
square feet.  :-)  Please email me directly with your project details  
to be included on the list of applicants.

Isn't that requirement a little hypocritical since Asterisk is heavily 
corporate sponsored?

Just asking,
