Well, I was there (FOSDEM) as well and thought it would have fit, but it was hard to tell beforehand. Anyway, that's past now, what's the next event coming up? LinuxTag? > On Sonntag, 22.

Now that we have reasonable multi-arch netinst-CDs and multi-arch DVDs, the effort to produce them should be greatly reduced compared to earlier LinuxTag editions where Joerg spent countless hours mastering them. So I guess it is a matter of finding sponsors and pointing a CD/DVD printer company to the .iso, plus see about shipping. > Also I think it would be a good idea to spend Debian money on buying a > shippable case, stuff it with booth stuff (like a banner, Even though a beamer is high on the list for about every event we have, I am not convinced it's really necessary. Booth sizes seem to go down in general, and you need not only a beamer but also a canvas or something similar to actually use it, plus the space. And then, we'd need something to display. Just showing the Debian homepage on the standard GNOME/KDE desktop doesn't warrant that. There are ideas floating around (a customized BB, a rolling OOo presentation, the d-i babelbox), but nothing which is fire-and-forget for booth personell right now. I think it makes maybe more sense to have a reasonably sized TFT display available. > some posters, As Andreas said, we need a good Lenny poster. > a money box, laminated pricelists and and and) and then also > use Debian money to ship the box from event to event.

We still have a donated demo machine (the former GNOME.de demo maschine I think) we used at Systems 2008 and 2009, but the casing is falling off all the time and the DVD/CD writer looked broken last time we tried. But it might be better than nothing. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-events-eu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
