I didn't spend much time behind the stand (thanks to everybody else who helped and did much much more work!) but dumping what I remember from when I wasn't drunk or slacking or both: * I was asked twice if the POSTERS ("official desktop of happy people") are available but did not know the wiki URL by heart. For the next print it should be written on them in a small font in a dark corner. * Tobias put up some of our available t-shirts but we were missing a ROPE/TAPE so we ended up using two network cables to get them onto the wall. It had a geeky charme so maybe we should not fix this. * The LEAFLET includes a screenshot of GNOME 2 (and doesn't look great if they are just black and white photocopies). * Tobias wants one of these STAND-UP displays that are a poster in 120x200cm and can be rolled up. I have no idea what it's called and no idea yet what to put onto it. * I sometimes wonder (for geeky audiences) if we should have a how-to help list handy, like some (real) examples for tasks where we need help (e.g. application $foo needs updated documentation or $bar's maintainer is AWOL and you could take over). Might not make us look good though, so maybe just a printed summary of the "Getting involved" page showing that there are many areas where people can contribute and that you don't need to be a coder. OUTREACH. * Not Fosdem specific: The STICKERS with the foot logo don't help spreading the word to people who do not know what the logo stands for. If we had stickers with a "gnome.org" URL on them our street teams could put them onto every traffic light and toilet door of those hip clubs and schools where the cool kids go that should really check out our project. Of course our street teams should only do this in countries where wild advertising is legal(TM)!
