Hi,

yeah, Linuxtag is the next event. If there will be a Debian booth is an open
question atm... :-/

sponsors or we could even pay for them on our own.

Even though a beamer is high on the list for about every event we have,
I am not convinced it's really necessary.
[3 more paragraphs about why a beamer is not really useful atm]

I wrote "banner", not "beamer" :-)

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.

babelbox is actually in a state where its fire and forget.

As Andreas said, we need a good Lenny poster.

I think a(nother) poster which will not be outdated with squeeze would also be
useful :-)


But you didnt even touch my main question: what do you think of Debian
spending 5000 USD (out of >100K it has) for helping preparing booths for the next 2 years? (I assume in 2 years the box needs to be updated and we have spent all money, ie. if we assume 5000 USD I would take 3-3.5k to buy stuff
for the box, and the rest to send the box around europe.)



I think 5000 USD are to much.
Debian owns a beamer, 3 machines, hundres of posters, t-shirts and whatever else. :-)
This stuff is at credativ office.

1: In my opinion we ned a box to send them around.

2: A roll-up display like this [1] is a usefull thing on boothes like CeBit or so. The most of the projects in linux park at CeBit has so one and it lookes good!

3: A tft display (for smaller booths like CeBit this year) is a usefull thing.



cheers,

René
