Me? Well, first I found out about the event (usually through hearing about it one year, and then thinking of it earlier in the year next time round). Occasionally, since I'm starting to become pretty well known for some event stuff, people mail me to let me know about events they're planning, or they mail the GNOME board. Then I contact the organisers (either a cold call, or replying to their mail) to see what's involved in having a representation - whether it'll cost money or is free for free software projects, whether we can have a presentation slot, that kind of thing. Usually, we can have a free stand, and I'm forwarded on to another person for the call for papers type stuff. Then I'll inform people about the possibility, and try to hunt volunteers for the event. That's usually the hard bit. Actually, apart from LWE, I don't know of any events in Northern California.
