There will be a Debian booth at [http://www.systems-world.de/ Systems 2006]. System takes place from Monday 23rd October to Friday, 27th October at the Neue Messe Munich.

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

  • Default GNOME or KDE desktop (to the booth staff's liking). etch or sarge?
  • The Debian homepage in a browser when idle
  • Some OpenOffice.org rolling demo? (maybe coordinate with LWE Köln in November)

  • The d-i i18n install rolling demo
  • Graphical d-i (on demand?)
  • Debian on MacBook?

Booth Decoration

  • RolandStigge has a big (1.5x1.5m) PVC Debian swirl, which we maybe can use again. There is maybe not enough space at the booth itself to mount it, so we would to be inventive

  • We could print out a DIN A0 version of the Debian flyer and mount it near the booth, if space is available (maybe wait until we had a look on-site)
  • Maybe have DIN A3 version of the Debian flyer (or some other informational stuff) put above the booth table?
  • Alternatively, we can at least put one poster above the booth table, like last year

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):

Please add yourself and the amount of shifts (semi-days) you probably will have time if you want to help.

CDs

  • We should solicit a donation of 2 EUR per CD in order to avoid Beutelratten
  • There will be a burn roboter at the OpenOffice.org booth we can probably use for burning CDs

  • MichaelBanck still has around 20-30 pressed Sarge CDs (without cover) from last year

  • MichaelBanck has around 75 LinuxTag DVDs

  • Credativ might still have several hundred of 2006 LinuxTag CDs (need to confirm)

  • We could burn (at the booth, if we have CD recorder) etch beta3 (or later betas) for interested people
  • Should we get Sarge/Etch/other CDs pressed to sell them?
  • The GNOME booth (if present) might have Ubuntu CDs again we could point people at if we ran out of CDs

Merchandise

  • Flyers: We should get them from Credativ, needs confirmation and organization
  • Posters: We should posters by Ayo from Credativ, needs confirmation and organization. Which price?
  • Foil stickers: Very popular, we should research whether we could get them (maybe in cooperation with LWE Köln in November)
  • Key chains: We could maybe get them from Credativ, needs confirmation and organization. Do we need them?
  • T-Shirts: Probably not worth the hassle for Systems. Comments?

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
