How big is the table size are FOSA providing? Last year's SFD, we had 2
tables. My guess is 3 tables for this year. Since we have more laptops,
we can showcase more stuff.

Ho Yi Hao, no worries bro, You can always boot up Live from USB and show
it to the world what Ubuntu can do without installation. No need to
touch the hard disk, ever....

Billy, seriously, do you need any A3 size prints? I can print in both
colour and mono. I will be printing all the handouts by end of the week,
once I get the A4 and A5 sheets. Anyone knows where to get A3(yes A3)
and A5 sheets?

One more thing, anyone able to provide Cable lock? For security
purposes.
