Whoops, I just found this rather old mail, it was already dusting and
smelling...

We can't get two booths, I was told. So this is just a dream without
connection to the reality.
Maybe I should add the method how the KDE project solved this problem.
You can guess that they would probably suffer from the very same
problem.
Firstly, they defined shifts for all day.
Secondly, they assigned a booth master for every shift.
Thirdly, they associated n people with each shift who would actually
staff the booth, demonstrate the wonderful bits of KDE, talk to the
press etc.
Fourthly, they created the policy, that the booth master may send away
any KDE developer who is at the booth but don't have to be there
because it's not his shift.
From what I saw when I saw the booth, it seemed to have worked.
Gruesse,
