If you have clear responsibilities and a legal structure you can handle booth without any problems. See ubuntu-de and ubuntu-fr we have locoteams with people, community and money. Untile now the money helps a lot in daily work. For example the locoteam has a booth at a national fair. For this booth you need some CDs, if you have luck you get some from shipit. Perhaps you also need posters, flyers, stickers. Who should pay this? Yes you can pay this from your own money. But not if you have up to 10 fairs a year. Another thing is what are you doing if a visitor comes to your booth and sais "I love Ubuntu, Ubuntu rocks". And he want to make a donation. Should you say "Oh sorry sir we are running a loco team without money"? In this situation it is good to have an Ubuntu sssociation(local or global). You can take the donation and everybody knows that this donation goes to the association and not in a private wallet. regards julius
