Yes but all you need is one person  minimum. I work single handed, 
with a second person on two occasions. It is tiring ther is often a 
small queue listening to one discussion.

Advocacy is not for everyone, especially with raw windows users who 
hardly know what an OS is sometimes. I think it is the advertising 
exposure that is important, however simple.

Just keep at it, if you can.
