Noted.
I've listed you as main coordinator and you and Noah as contact for
Usenix, hope that's ok.

Please check the additional documents on http://www.debian.org/events/
They may answer your questions already.

This works out on a by show basis - or not. You'd have to contact
vendors on your own.

I'd say that running a booth requires at least two people. Together
with Noah you are two, so it should be possible. Some would make
things easier, of course.

Just go ahead. I don't think debian-events-na has been distributed
far enough so people from debian-devel know about it yet. Thus a
posting to -devel may be worth it.
Assuming I don't forget it, I'll post something to debian-news about 1
week ahead of the event.
