This is an importrant question, but I don't think it's the right topic
at the tradeshow.

The show floor is a parade of vendors offering examples of how to
make/save money from open source. Arguably, that is the prime purpose of
the show. A user group should offer a contrast, a breather, something
that vendors can't or won't talk about.

If the goal is to interest people in {T,NewT,GTA}LUG, you don't want to
offer the same kind of presentations as the vendors.
