There will be a Debian booth at Systems 2006. System takes place from Monday 23rd October to Friday, 27th October at the Neue Messe Munich.

HOWTO

A HOWTO (including current booth staff plan) is available here.

Booth Layout

Same as last year, i.e a small table and a small artificial wall above it. Barely enough space for a LCD and a notebook, and a poster on the wall. The location of the OpenSource park is along the wall of the hall, so maybe some place to have posters is available after all.

Booth Hardware

We need one semi-decent box with an LCD to show off Debian, maybe one notebook brought along by booth staff and (if place permits) one older box shownig off the portability

What to show

Booth Decoration

Booth Staff

Current planning includes 2-3 people at the booth, possible two in the morning, one person reinforcing over lunch, and two in the afternoon, thus 5 people per day. Systems is 5 days, so we have 25 shifts (semi-days) to fill. If we assume everybody will do two shifts or more, we need at least 12 people.

The following people are volunteering to staff the booth (numbers of shifts and preferred days/times subject to change):

Tickets

People who get free tickets through other means (e.g. as promotion from computer magazines or through their university or employer) should use them if possible

Everyone else can get a free ticket sponsored by Philosys Software GmbH. Contact RolandStigge for this.

Related Booths

We could collect the location/ID of other booths at Systems who present Debian (e.g. Limux, HP(?), Intel(?), credativ(?)) and have a poster pointing to them at our booth, as well as contacting them and making sure they know where we are if people ask about Debian
