No, sorry. I will give out the exhibitors passes to people who actively work on the booth or the DebianDay or both, but not to anyone else.. This is one of the conditions to have free entries for the exhibitors, and I dont want to loose that. If that means that some people do not visit the LT then its a loss, but I already expect a big loss of people, and dont know if LT next year is worth all the effort if it goes in the same direction it does now. :() -- bye Joerg [...] While Debian is certainly about beer, and in some cases may even be about free beer, Debian is mainly about free speech.
