I don't think the problem is that we don't *know* how to do a proper booth. Everybody who was at the CLT for Debian has been doing these kinds of events for a couple years already. In my opinion the problem is more that keeping up a good booth requires some discipline, both in the preparation and (probably even more) the actual event. As Julien said, refraining from your laptop or from having long talks with your friends instead of the users is not what we usually do and thus requires some kind of conscious and constant effort. As I see it we've in recent times become somewhat lax in this regard. We all know perfectly well what a good booth should be like and there's plenty places to read up on that kind of stuff. So maybe we should just all pull ourselves together once more and put some more effort in our exhibition presences like we used to do and thus avoid such glitches in the future. We certainly owe it to our users and the people providing us with the opportunities to show off our project at their events.
