OK - you can put me down for June then.  That gives me time to write the
HOWTO, being a few copies to give out, and then just go over the
presentation a few times to get it sussed.  I'll aim to provide both
laptops, and a cross over cable (if I can't get my hands on a Windows
laptop nearer the time, I'll ask here again if someone can bring one -
it'd need a UTP ethernet card, standard 15-pin display out socket for
the projector, and you'd have to be all right about me installing
Cygwin/XFree86 on it from CD-ROM).  If someone could provide a
projector, that'd be great.
