I could bring my EeeBox running Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Sid. Unfortunately
the tiny MicroClients I had at FOSDEM 2008 both broke in the
meanwhile. But the EeeBox is backpack compatible, too, and much
faster. :-)

Depending on how I travel to FOSDEM (car or train) I can only bring an
8" 640x480 flat screen, so it would be good if someone from closeby
can offer to bring a bigger screen in case I come by train.

Okay, I'll try it.

Feels a little bit like a challenge for me, since until now I have
only organized booths at smaller events and only was staff at the
FOSDEM booth before. (Well, at least once I felt like running the
booth mostly myself, can't remember if I also really did ;-)

I created the following two pages since I haven't found any FOSDEM
related pages in the Debian wiki -- except the Video team's pages.

  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/FOSDEM/2010
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/FOSDEM

So with my FOSDEM booth organizer hat on, I would like to have:

* Lots of Booth staff

  Please add yourself to the list on
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/FOSDEM/2010 in case you want to
  help out at the FOSDEM booth.

  I would be espcially happy to see people from the British Cabal in
  that list since in my eyes there's no Debian FOSDEM booth without
  kilts, Steve, Nattie & Co. ;-)

  I plan to have no hard booth schedule (maybe a list who'll care when
  about the booth as main responsible person) but instead trust on
  people being at the booth not to lie when they get asked how long
  they will stay at the booth.

* Merchandising Stuff, at least some from the British, Swiss and
  German Collection. Will contact formorer and maybe also Steve and
  gismo.

* More Hardware to display

  Please add your hardware and name to the list on
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/FOSDEM/2010 if you plan to bring
  some hardware running Debian to display to FOSDEM.

  Would be happy to see cool and exotic stuff (i.e. non-x86 or
  embedded hardware) or something running babelbox (if it still works
  with current installers) prefered.

I also have a few questions to Wouter:

* Do we get table cloths from FOSDEM or do we have to bring some
  ourself?

* Is already known where the booth will be?

* Any wise words from a long-standing Debian FOSDEM booth organizer?
  :-)

                Regards, Axel
