normal we get the size in the last days. The open projects can make a
list of wishes and joey (as linuxtag orga team member) decides the size
etc.

we have some old posters...
Have someone the source from this old posters? (it was tex ?)

we need somebody to
- recreate the old posters (this are all potato posters...)
- print the posters on >>DIN A4 paper...
(maybe someone from a university?)

I don't now see the crowed problem... See on the list, who is on the
LT...

joey: have the LT 2002 a hacking center again?
I don't think we get a extra room for debian!

no, please not. We are not a company and we don't make contracts, we
don't need tables. Tables need some a lot of size of a booth.
Maybe we need some demo point like things (like the KDE booth last year)
we should show debian all the time!

1.) you talk:
can't you make a 'real talk' for the debian day?
2.) I like shows with a beamer on the booth...
let draw something:

Someone is all the time on the demopoint with the beamer and talk
with visitors and show debian (apt-get, update-menues, all the
stuff). All without a programm.
from time to time we can use the beamer for a extra scheduled talks,
a installation demo etc. (max 3 per Day ?)
