	FOSDEM & GNOME Booth & fugure events by Stormy Peters-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Was anyone at FOSDEM? Can you comment on the GNOME booth? I heard it wasn't great. I noticed the Event Box wasn't used, http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEventsBox. I was wondering how it really went and if it didn't go as well as it could have, what we can do to improve in the future. One thing I think we could do is decide which events we'd like to see GNOME at and make sure that there are enough people there to man a booth and make sure they know about the event box.

The venue for FOSDEM is, in its way, sort of terrible, especially for booths. The university is really much too small for the event; as a result, the hallways (where the booths are generally set up) is constantly jam-packed. Actually getting to a booth of interest could be challenging. I had a long chat with Shane and Adriaan, and I was obliged to sit in the FSF-E booth for it...

I noticed the Event Box wasn't used, I don't think that's true. :-) There were small GNOME stickers for free (quite popular), some hardware running GNOME to play with (laptop, N810, ...) and T-shirts ("Freedom Lover") were sold, plus the GNOME flag in the background. As Lefty already wrote: In general FOSDEM is very crowded and there's not much space. If it wasn't great some more specific feedback would be really interesting. You could also contact Reinout van Schouwen (reinouts), Christophe Fergeau (teuf) and Lionel Dricot (ploum) who ran the booth, if I remember correctly. andre -- mailto:ak-47@... \| failed http://www.iomc.de/ \| http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I wonder if there is anything we can do to style the booth better next year . I think little stuff like having all stickers/badges in a bowl instead of spread out together with all kinds of computers and other stuff and stuff like that could help. I would love to help out with this next year. A better spot would probably also help a lot. :) - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
