I am not sure - this might eat a considerable chunk of our funds at FFIS. So if possible, I would think we should try to find some sponsors to at least cover a part of the expenses. > > Even though a beamer is high on the list for about every event we have, > > I am not convinced it's really necessary. > [3 more paragraphs about why a beamer is not really useful atm] > > I wrote "banner", not "beamer" :-) Oops! > > 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. > > babelbox is actually in a state where its fire and forget. > > > As Andreas said, we need a good Lenny poster. > > I think a(nother) poster which will not be outdated with squeeze would also > be > useful :-) Yes. We once had a A0 version of the Debian flyer, but it got lost a couple of years ago.

Well, I didn't touch it because I don't have a big opinion on it. Shipping the box around europe would require a lot more cooperation by "local teams" (not that we really have those formalized either) than there is currently. I think we should steam-line the events management first, like having a dedicated team which support local organizers by providing a central point of contact for them. We can probably do this on a country basis first. It looks like the english and french "local teams" are working pretty well, so it might make sense to setup a german-only coordination list and irc channel (e.g. in this thread some discussions related to CLT from #debian.de was referenced, but I don't read its scroll-back regularly these days, while I would follow a low-traffic events channel I guess) If that works, we can think about assembling a box. In general I think a box is a good idea, anyway. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-events-eu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
