Let me guess: you asked "Mr. mirror" who hangs at the wall of your bathroom, and the person you've seen there made it? ;-) Yes, Mr. Mirror is quite expensive, especially when you break him...
Now the very smart concept for that one:
- henne and other nobel prize winners will tutor interested people some highly secret stuff such as hacking your first plasmoid, rolling a package in the build service etc.. We think about up to 4 sessions each up to 2h per day
Sounds like a good idea.
- Each day at 5pm will do the well known openSUSE quiz where people can win terrific prizes such as openSUSE t-shirts, openSUSE soccer ball or even a Kicker subscription to stay up to date around soccer
What about a travel to the openSUSE conference? That sounds more inviting to me than a magacine about the (as you write) "not interesting soccer".
BTW: IIRC at 5pm lots of booths give away prices. Maybe we should do it 20 minutes earlier or later to have more participants. Good point. Or maybe we do it even earlier like 3pm or when more people are around.
- As during LinuxTag the well known and not interesting soccer world champion ship starts wee may use our screen to broadcast soccer games live (provided we conquer any technical hurdles) to attract countless people to our booth.
This has pros and cons:
- pro: the booth will be crowded for sure and pro: the crowd will have a lot of fun which is a link to openSUSE and pro: the attending crowd is Linux/IT affine.
- con: we are there to talk about openSUSE, not about soccer ;-) The soccer viewers will probably just stand in the way, flame the incapable players and hinder other visitors. Oh, and you'll need to give out some beer to the soccer fans. (Needless to say that wine is better.) Important note: We're talking about 3 games in total. So it's not like 4 games a day.
Best M
Btw: when I understand the LinuxTag guys correctly we can call out wishes with which project we may be a perfect fit on such an island booth.
Hmm, what about Gentoo - and then giving a tutorial like "openSUSE build service. don't waste CPU cycles at home." ;-) Or choose Mandriva(User), CentOS, Debian or *buntu and talk about "openSUSE build service - we also work for our neighbors." *g*
Seriously: I'd go for some upstream project - either a big one like KDE, Gnome or OpenOffice, or a smaller one that should be more visible than it normally is.
