Budget: maybe the booth price (38 euro)? But make sure you ask people to give some money if they want; put a gift box on the table and if people ask if the CDs are free, say: "yes, but a gift to cover our expenses is really appreciated". (Put a bit of your own money in the gift box before the fair starts though, as apparently no visitor wants to be the first to give a gift ;) ) Except for last fair in Bruges (where there weren't many visitors for some reason), we've always been able to pay the booth price from those gifts here in West-Flanders. > Are we expected to burn CD-R's ourselves for the event? > How much should I have to burn to be realistic? > Don't feel like having 100 left over at the end of the day.

Yes, but you can maybe burn them as people come & go. You can also pass on leftover empty CD-Rs to the people who'll do the following fair. I expect to have official 9.04 CDs in early May though. > Also I don't have anything to visualize the stand (posters, TUX-puppet, > etc...) Is there a stock on this? (and how to get this?) I have posters, and I think François has some too (he's probably nearer to you). I can also provide some stickers & a couple of baseball caps & T-shirts, as well as some CD-stands. (This is also true for people who do other booths, but if many want these, you'll have to share them...) > *2) I need company* > I've never even been at a Ubuntu booth (I've been at 1 Dipro fair > november last year, but there was no Ubuntu booth there that time), so I > haven't helped standing at one either...

Of course, 2 people is the bare minimum, and 3 people is the practical minimum to operate a booth, 4 or 5 might be even better. You might need to go to the toilet or get something to eat/drink, and leaving your high-end PC and other equipment unattended is probably not a good idea, so doing it alone is out of the question. Also, for all those who want to do a fair booth, let me know in time once you've found enough people, so that I can actually order a booth for you... ;-) -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
