It also depends upon the semantics of whether we are allotted a booth 'for just the open day or for throughout the conference. One another idea or alternative approach if we do get a booth is to share the booth i.e. debian-publicity and itsfoss.com and both co-ordinate from the booth itself. This is, if you and me both travel and co-ordinate there. It would make sense and we both could exchange stories, ideas how to publicize Debian even better. I am sure you have more than a few ideas, maybe with @itsfoss.com help we could help out somewhat. I haven't yet run the above with Abhishek but I do think he will say yes. At our end, we will probably need to get the semantics right but am hopeful on that front. > Cheers > > -- > Laura Arjona Reina > https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona > <snipped> -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
