Sounds nice, but we need to decide what the goal of the ad is.

Some possible goals (of which we should choose at most one):

- Get people to come to the main DebConf events?  But the main DebConf
events aren't aimed at people who didn't already know about Debian.

- Get people to come to Debian Day?  More sensible, though what
happens if a large number of people are persuaded to come and all turn
up? :)

- Raise awareness of Debian more generally?  i.e. Tell people it's a
great product, and what it does.

- Raise awareness of free software more generally?  i.e. Tell people
why they should care about free software.
