I have no idea really.  I mean, if anybody just showed up, who may or  
may not know anything about, say, NetBSD, why should I go?  (I'm not a  
NetBSD user- but am "very technical" and would likely learn something  
cool from an overview on it, from somebody who uses it).  Why should I  
go?  Why not just stay home and install NetBSD and hack around?
