In the past (I guess Debconf edignburgh) we did some mugshots, where people showed their name and nickname on a notebook. I've added my favorite shell, editor, programming language. That would be one option to do this once again.
I dream to have personalized debconf shirts for everyone who likes it which contain name, nickname and all topics you like to to talk about on such a shirt. Maybe also create a word cloud picture? Another idea could be to have gas ballons and write whatever topics you like on this ballons and then stick this to your notebook. My practical solution during DebConfs is to actively ask people I do not know yet to get to know them. Waiting queues for the meals were invented for this. Often it works to ask on the debconf irc channel and then sometimes people in the same room fit to your question or interest. -- regards Thomas
