Hi everyone, Quick trip report from the GNOME Booth @ Lugradio Live USA.
* Participants: Jorge Castro, Behdad Esfahbod, Roozbeh Pournader and wife (forgot name, sorry!) * The foot stamps were cute, people liked them. * The annual GNOME Report was popular. I think people were impressed by the quality of the booklet and the articles. People were actually reading them at the booth. * North American Event Box needs some updates: * A webcam to demo Cheese * A way to run a development version of GNOME to show off new features. * I left an Ubuntu Hardy Live CD in the box. I think it would be a great idea for participants who use the box to leave a current Live CD or something so that we can show off the latest and greatest without having to maintain the installation on the computer itself. * Since the box goes to events where there are GNOME-friendly distributors, it's easy to just snag a CD from one of them to live boot and then change the theme to be close to upstream. * A banner of some kind to hang from the booths. * People are aware of the black shirt on the GNOME Store but I got many queries about where to buy the green shirt (the desktop+gnome=love one) * Bottom Line: This show is going to get more popular and it should be considered a good target for a GNOME presence in the future. I would like to get more volunteers next year so I can enjoy the show more. :D * Thanks to Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier from openSUSE/Novell for ensuring that the box got to UPS on Monday. (I left on a Sunday) Go Team GNOME! * Thanks to Rosanna Yuen for scheduling the shipping of the event box and making that painless. -- jorge _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
