I think I see what you mean. Well, however having at least something to
show would be quite nice, what we're really looking for here is the
availability of someone from Mirage to be at the Xen booth at a specific
time, to explain what Mirage is, answer questions. Again, answering and
showing would greatly benefit from having something sensible people can
look at, but it's not 100% mandatory I guess.

Consider that we'll have a timetable/schedule for the demos/presence of
people from various project at the booth, so that someone interested in
any of those project, can came back at the proper time and hear and ask
questions directly to you... That's why I'm saying that even just
agreeing on being there would be already something!

Anything you could think about would work, I'm sure. In fact, even if
not 100% mandatory, it would really be a plus to have something live to
show off. :-P

That would be great! :-)

Thanks and Regards,
