Well, not necessarily...

Open Source Schools (http://opensourceschools.org.uk) and Open Forum  
Europe (http://www.openforumeurope.org/) have booked a small (3mx4m)  
but well located stand in the policy zone (near Becta, DCFS etc), for  
'The Open Source Schools Cafe'; Sugar/OLPC would fit in well, and  
indeed last year's OFE stand had an XO-1 on demonstration, attracting  
much interest.
Some contributions to the stand cost would be appreciated, but we  
could sort that out later if you were interested in joining in.

You'd also be welcome to join us at our unconference up in Nottingham  
on 20th July (http://opensourceschools.org.uk/unconference09 ) at  
which Amir is presenting on Sugar and I'm doing a segment on Scratch.

Best wishes,
Miles.
