Not exactly an follow-up, but I didn't exactly knew where to reply to and wasn't inclined to open up a new thread about it: Some people complained/were irritated that the Free Software workshops/track (or whatever you call it, I'm talking about the program the Debian Day was in) wasn't announced more widely. For example, I've seen a couple of people at the Debian booth looking at the timetable diplayed there (halfway hid behind a monitor, somebody pointed it out for them) and saying: 'Huh? Didn't know there was a talk about FreeBSD/Debian foo/whatever, how bad I missed it'. In case these talks can't be put into the official event handout (e.g. because the schedule is decided on only after the printing, or the sponsors don't want that in the offcial program) I urge for advertizing it a bit more. I know there were small posters next to the official program at the entrance on Saturday on Sunday at least, but overall the visibility could be a bit increased I guess. Michael
