Our booth as we found it when we arrived at the Moscone Center exhibit floor on Monday afternoon. Not what we expected...
We started by setting up the projector screen on the backwall of the booth. Still waiting for the carpet, counter and booth sign.
Urias prepared two demo machines to use at LinuxWorld.
We shared the booth space with the ReactOS project. Here is Art from ReactOS, to whom we are grateful that he joined us.
Jorge pitching Haiku to one of our first visitors shortly after the show started.
One of the demo machines was hooked to the big projector screen and the 19 inch LCD seen on top of the counter.
Jorge showing off Haiku to an intent visitor. Quite a few people were entranced by Haiku's capabilities.
ReactOS running demo.
Art talking about ReactOS to a couple of visitors.
Jorge giving an overview of Haiku to a visitor who listens with keen interest.

And yet another...
ACCESS' Director of Open Source Technologies, David “Lefty” Schlesinger, was kind enough to stop by our booth for a chat.
People manning the booth on the second day (from left to right): Scott McCreary, Art Yerkes (from ReactOS), Jorge G. Mare and Urias McCullough.
Matt Martz in front of the Haiku booth. He flew 5.5 hours across the U.S. to come to see (us?).
We reconfigured the layout of the booth on the second day, so that ReactOS could have a bit more visibility.This photo shows ReactOS running on a 19" LCD on top of the counter.
Scott McCreary, who manned the booth the second and third day of the show, standing in front of the booth.
Scott brought a Geode Nano-ITX board to show Haiku running
Booth ready to go at the start of Day 3

This is day three now. The highlight of the event: Jean-Louis Gassée honored us with his presence to the Haiku booth.
The Coverity booth - we've been working with them recently to get scanning of Haiku code in place
ACCESS had a pretty large booth at the show
VMWare was present, we did not have a chance to chat with them.
The FreeBSD booth - they were giving away PC-BSD CDs and the "red devil" blinking headbands you see here.
Urias spoke with the Etherboot.org guys briefly. They were interested in the possibility of having Haiku booting from iSCSI in the future.
SBAY.org are the organizers of the LinuxPicnic event. The man pointing is Ian Kluft.
Of course, there are always OLPC's present at Linux-related conferences
gOS looks pretty nice, but even more eye-catching is the diverse number of small formfactor "netbooks" they have collected here to demonstrate it's ability to run on smaller devices.
Amy Bommer from IDG. She made it possible for us to have a booth at LinuxWorld this year, so to her all our gratitude.
Pete (center) is a BeOS user and Haiku fan who spent quite some time with us at the booth. Here he is with Urias (left) and Scott (right).
