yeah, Linuxtag is the next event. If there will be a Debian booth is an open

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I think a(nother) poster which will not be outdated with squeeze would also be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.
what about a used rack-case from ebay? that's cheap and robust.
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!
i think it's not always a question of equipment or stuff to buy. the real question is: what to put on display? just a logo does not allways help.
3: A tft display (for smaller booths like CeBit this year) is a usefull thing.
i think this is really important. maybe there shoud always be something going on in the booth. at least some demo or publicly showing how well it works. ;)
bye,
Michael.
