Good ... oh... it isn't dark outside... morning!
> Alex, thanks for the good list. You are welcome. I'm thinking of writing a HOWTO, so if you (readers on the list) have sugestions, please Mail them. It would be cool, if you could find pictures showing the positive or negative aspect of a booth (not only limited to Debian). Well, if I have the time to prepare it probaly I'm going to do a talk about this (but I'm not yet sure if people will come see it). It would be really cool, to have a talk like �Conference Presentation Judo� [1] next year. 1: http://perl.plover.com/yak/presentation/ > > - If you are at the booth, and female visitors come to you, don't stare > > at their breasts (or at least don't dislocate to do so). > > Possible solution: Don't allow female visitors to enter the exhibition > > hall. > Err... *cough* Okay if you don't like this solution, what about giving the booth personal those kind of collar bandages with which you can't look down? > > - Booth people didn't know whom they could contact if visitors asked > > questions they couldn't answer. > Shouldn't there be information about sub-projects available at the booth > that could be handed out to visitors? Yes there was. This was more a general problem. For example one visitor asked a very special question about bootiso (or something similar). While the booth was to crowded to search the net, I didn't know to whom I could refer. > If merchandise at the booth takes too much space, and the booth should > be used for the projects' products after all and not for merchandise, > we can move merchandise into the Stadthalle.

I don't think a general merchandising booth would work very well. People come to us to buy from us, and to support us. The "key ties" (what is the englisch word for "Schl�sselband?") sold well at our booth, while they were shelf warmer at Kernel Concept and LinuxLand. I fear, if we tell our visitors "Please visit the mechandising booth in the other hall" they won't spend as much money as they did the last years. Great god, did I really argued with the sales volume? I need a break... Yours sincerely, Alexander
