Hi, Those of you who made it to FOSDEM will have noticed me asking for feedback. So far I've only received one mail with comments, so I guess that must mean it's been a great FOSDEM for more people than just myself and that I should (mostly) go on as I've been doing for now.
Anyhow, one thing I'd like to rethink for next year is how we'll organize the booth by then. I could ask about that then, but since it's all still fresh in our memory at this point in time, I figured it's probably better to ask about it now, write it all down, and then figure out something better by next year. Currently, I organize the FOSDEM booth by having people sign up beforehand who will then all do one hour of "booth duty", and are supposed not to leave the booth during their one designated hour. The reason I do it this way is to ensure nothing happens to the hardware and/or money that's left at the booth; given how there are literally thousands of people at FOSDEM, we can't just assume they're all nice and good people. I could of course assign just two people to man the booth all weekend, but then they would be unable to walk around and see other things which they might want to see. That's why I chose to have duty shifts of one hour: so that I'm not imposing on anyone's time. However, in preparing for the booth this year, it was brought to my attention that this year and last year some people of the Debian-UK crowd had been at or near the booth all weekend anyway, so that they would be able to take care of the money; apparently they wanted to be slightly more sure about that. I don't have anything against this, but obviously if people don't consider the way I've been organizing things to be secure enough, then we need to do it differently. So, there we are, I need to find a different way to organize the booth at FOSDEM for next year.
