If you can make it either the week before, after, or coincident with FISL 09 (probably mid-april), you'd get an even larger audience. FISL attracts 5000 people.
I'm presenting Seaside-on-Squeak at FISL 08 as an invited speaker in a few months.
And I'd love to be involved with SqueakFest in Brazil, even if it's not near FISL. Count me in!
