Anybody who is there could please discuss with Matthias Stürmer (or anybody
else of the orga team; and make this an official request of me as the
debian.ch secretary) why the question of official presence for Debian never
makes it to this list.
Let me answer this: debian.ch was and is more than welcome to do a booth
at OpenExpo for free! However, there are two issues:
1. At the OpenExpo's last year in Bern [1] and Winterthur [2] you had
twice a booth at the event. I don't remember the event in Bern, but at
least last time in Winterthur nobody showed up during two days. This is
really annoying for us exhibition organizers having to turn down
projects beforehand because project tables are scarce and then having
others not attending their booth!
2. For the upcoming OpenExpo over 40 communities were able to sign up
for a booth [3]. It's not that difficult...
So if there is a debian.ch member who is really able to attend the two
OpenExpo days (yes, Axel, it's on weekdays because topsoft takes place
during these days. Feel free to organize OpenExpo on Saturday/Sunday,
but good luck finding sponsors...), I've reactivated the subscription
form on http://www.openexpo.ch/index.php?id=231 the next couple of days.
But please only subscribe for a booth if you really can manage to have
at least one person present all the time - all the other communities can
do it as well!
Best,
Matthias
