Full ack.

As a side note: I think I've read quite a lot (debian/lt2k mailinglist)
about organisation of the last linuxtag events. Year by year the grade of
occurence and appearance was raised more and more into some sort of
professionalism. This is not a bad thing, however don't forget this is
still community and if some plans go on that way, you will have some sort
of strict rules for doing booth maintenance at the debian booth in some
years/events. If someone tells me in two or three years to exchange my
skate sneakers with patent leather shoes or just to pull up my trousers,
because it does not look usual, in order to help at the booth I would
withdraw any work for any project (don't forget that most people devote
their free time for this, so you should let them stay as long is it is not
some form of the already mentioned 'nudity'...).

This is my personal opinion and should not be reflected on the before
mentioned topics, just something I observed throughout the years (and
filled out a bit extreme, right)... But please, no extreme rules the next
years :-)

After all, communication should be in the foreground and not other
people's asses, breasts, clothing style, hair style or beards. Lets try
to keep it that way.
