Well, I don't think we really need such a shift, but ...

Yes, that's very important. Always show the visitors a nice clean well
organized booth. :)

That's also a good idea. Will we have a generic login called "linuxtag"
or "debian" on the machines?

Okay, I'll think this one is handled different.

Hehe, I'll think we'll use as usual the debian logo background. :)

And we have no woman at our booth. ;(

That's in my opinion not a very good idea for our booth. I'll would
never kick one out of the booth. We'll should suggest some developers to
leave the booth and go around if too many developers are at the booth,
but I still hope that this won't happen.

Well, that's a nice suggestion, but a tie is in my opinion not really
needed. I'll take my jacket with me as always, but I'm not sure if I'll
really wear it.
