The content on the CDs may be why people grab them, but their benefit to 
BLU is to act as a business card, so labeling them is important.

I don't think BLU needs to be a Linux advocate at LinuxWorld. While 
impressive demos may be nice, keep in mind that there will be a hall 
full of commercial vendors trying to pull off the same thing.

All BLU needs to do is reinforce the message that open source is 
community supported, and BLU provides that local community.
