Hi, it would be nice if we would emphasise on events with Debian participation a bit more again.
This includes more planning, more thoughts about what to demonstrate at the booths, maybe also more talks and workshops with a Debian background, and promote the participation itself more, both before and after the event. This will gain more interest by users to meet Debian people at said exhibitions and conferences. We will have more and better chances to talk to our users in person and discuss with them. It would also be nice if (at least) one of the participating people of such an event would write up something like a retrospective after the event. It's been quite a while since the last report has been written and published on www.debian.org (nearly one year). Such reports show how successful the event and the Debian presence has been afterwards and will remind our users to attend the next event with a Debian presence in their region. Those reports may be published not only on www.debian.org (please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you write up one) but maybe also on Debian Times from aba, and will probably be summarised in DWN. Such reports should be phrased positively - and leave out bad and sad bits and bytes, of course. They should also focus on the Debian presence and not on sightseeing or whatever. Adding some links to pictures of the booth or talks would also be nice. A good example has been written by Julien Blache: http://www.debian.org/events/2005/0203-solutionslinux-report and Sundara Nagarajan: http://www.debian.org/events/2005/0820-debconf-india-report Regards, Joey -- WARNING: Do not execute!
