Debian

We'd like to show some systems running Debian, sell merchandise (Tshirts, mugs,
etc), hand out leaflets and be available for the public to answer questions
about Debian.

The Debian booth is expected to be there by the FOSDEM audience. We have
a long lasting tradition of working together. People generally are very
eager to visit out booth.

I'd guess one table is enough. Perhaps the Libreboot project wants to share
space with us, if needed. In general I'm happy to share space, if needed.

Wynke: thanks a lot for extending the deadline & reminding me about this!
Much appreciated!

See you @ FOSDEM, Bye,

Joost
