Yes I'd up for that.  Sandra's idea of a computer (or even general market) 
would be great.  Although many people have heard of Linux/OSS these days 
many still don't know what it is.  I bet if we had a sign saying "Free 
Software" many people would approach us asking us if we were giving away 
warez :)  We would want literature about OSS licencing on hand.

Agreed.  A stall is a better idea.  I prefer this to an installfest, as 
installfests only get in touch with people who are already somewhat 
interested and I think we need to touch the wider community at this point, 
especially on Software Freedom Day.

Cheers,

Rob
