I can't make any promisses, though. Well, it all depends on what we want to show. At FOSDEM we had a system with a big TFT screen to show compiz in action. Now, everybody nowadays is doing this (LinuxWorld Brussels had all Linux booths showing this) so we may have to advance it a little. Maybe showing slideshows at the same time and/or starting applications on some faces of the cube. I'd like to see if we can take the same TFT screen with me, but it would of course be easier if we don't have to transport it 800km or we find something better. We have triangular booth, so one or two projectors/beamers would be an advantage as we can show both directions a message. Beware that beamers will not be enough as we have to need a screen to display on as well according to the organisation. So it might not be possible or too expensive. I'll bring a laptop, ralph will as well and possibly others too. So in the worst case scenario we just display a few laptops to show off CentOS on laptops. (Do make sure that most functionality you want to show works and is tested on your laptop !) What are we going to demo ? CentOS, as an Enterprise Linux has many practical uses: servers, appliances and desktops. Servers is hard to show off except for management/reporting applications, appliances could be VOIP/VDR setups, desktops would be the compiz setup with interesting GUI applications. If you can fill in one of these, feel free to do so :) I can give you access to the wiki if not already so. It would also be nice if we could document the setup of a demo-system so that other people can build on that next event.
