My question is more along this line: We are the LARGEST open source project IN THE WORLD. There is no reason we *can't* afford a HIGH QUALITY setup, instead of a bunch of banners. The way people percieve our booth setups will directly effect how they percieve us. We need a professional look, if we want to reach professionals. A few simple banners are NOT professional. > As far as the novell and AMD stands they are extremely nice but I > don't think the funds of this project would allow for something as > intricate as that.
