But my first question is: because Tim does > not take part does not mean that the booth on FrOSCon is canceled?! No, we only commit to a booth if we are certain we can keep it open (usually that means 2 or 3 persons guarantee to be present). If only one person commits to a booth, he needs to be there _all_ the time and that is practically impossible (depending on the kind of event).

Maybe I can > prepare some cool CentOS stickers. That would be really nice. I would like to have 2 kinds of stickers: - stickers to put on the back of your laptop to promote CentOS - small stickers to put below your keyboard to replace the Windows, Intel or Nvidia sticker. (CentOS Inside) However it is very important that for these stickers they do not damage the property. So it depends on the adhessive used. We do have a small budget (from media donations) that we can spend on this. If we want to go for a larger amount to drop the costs we have to ask the CentOS project for a budget. I would prefer the second option. For the design I think we need to do some sort of contest and then let people decide what they prefer. Also, I would not just give stickers away because people than take them. What we really should do is give a sticker only to people that can proof they are already running CentOS and/or if they put it on a computer in our presence. And if they want more than one, we can ask for a donation to cover our expenses. I think that would work quite well and introduce funny scenes at the booth. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
