Debian booth at FOSDEM 2006

Hello World,

I'm looking for people to help man the booth at the upcoming FOSDEM. Any
volunteers?

What I did last year on this subject (and I intend to do that again this
year) is to create the booth schedule only when the talk schedule(s)
has/have been posted, so that you don't need to miss a talk because
you're at the booth; but just so that I don't need to be doing a
last-minute rush in order to have enough people at our booth, I'd like
to ask for volunteers already.

I'm assuming that the Debian booth will, as always, be overly crowded
anyway, so most of the time the job of the person "manning the booth"
will be to be the one responsible for everything (including the money
for T-shirts sold, etc); questions can be asked to everyone at or near
the booth; and in the rare occasion that there really is nobody else,
well, you'll be busy for five minutes.

If you feel you're up to that, please get in contact with me.

Also, I'd like suggestions for something we could show at our booth. I
think it's fair to assume that most people at FOSDEM will already know
what Debian is; and while T-shirts, posters and flyers will, as always,
be an important part of our booth, it should also contain something
"interesting" for visitors to have a look at. Frans Pop already
suggested to set up a babelbox (d-i installation looping through each of
the available languages that d-i supports), which I think is great, but
more showoff would be nice; and the organizers were kind enough to
assign us two tables, so there should be space to put at least two demo
computers (maybe three, if we put them close together) on one table, and
some marketing material (T-shirts, posters, whatnot) on the other.
Suggestions?

Speaking of marketing material, who can bring some?

Thanks,
