small each time for it apparently.
Having been at FOSDEM and at last years CeBIT booth, I disagree.
Well, I was there (FOSDEM) as well and thought it would have fit,
but it
was hard to tell beforehand. Anyway, that's past now, what's the next
event coming up? LinuxTag?

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to spend some Debian money on

Now that we have reasonable multi-arch netinst-CDs and multi-arch
DVDs,
the effort to produce them should be greatly reduced compared to
earlier
LinuxTag editions where Joerg spent countless hours mastering them.
So I guess it is a matter of finding sponsors and pointing a CD/DVD
printer company to the .iso, plus see about shipping.
Also I think it would be a good idea to spend Debian money on
buying a
shippable case, stuff it with booth stuff (like a banner,
Even though a beamer is high on the list for about every event we
have,
I am not convinced it's really necessary. Booth sizes seem to go down
in general, and you need not only a beamer but also a canvas or
something similar to actually use it, plus the space.
And then, we'd need something to display. Just showing the Debian
homepage on the standard GNOME/KDE desktop doesn't warrant that.
There are ideas floating around (a customized BB, a rolling OOo
presentation, the d-i babelbox), but nothing which is fire-and-forget
for booth personell right now.
I think it makes maybe more sense to have a reasonably sized TFT
display
available.
some posters,
As Andreas said, we need a good Lenny poster.
a money box, laminated pricelists and and and) and then also
use Debian money to ship the box from event to event. Maybe even
put a
small demo machine (without display..) in it...
We still have a donated demo machine (the former GNOME.de demo
maschine
I think) we used at Systems 2008 and 2009, but the casing is
falling off
all the time and the DVD/CD writer looked broken last time we tried.
But it might be better than nothing.
