This is a pretty generic topic for all fairs we attend. The question is
how to attract users to our booth. The concept of having counters with
staff where people can try out and/or talk about openSUSE is nice but
very generic. A high percentage of people just walk by. I guess by now
most people know what a openSUSE desktop looks like. Most of them even
know all the stuff you can showcase (XGL, applications, etc.).
So i guess we need to find other ways to present what we do and whats
cool about openSUSE. Some ideas i had at LinuxTag
openSUSE Fuelling Station
-------------------------
Having a table with power/network plugs and an installation server in
the background. So people can install openSUSE on their laptops. This is
includes staff that can help with problems and/or show cool stuff we can
do during the installation. Could also serve as give away point for
promo DVDs or latest development versions on burned cds/dvds.
openSUSE Bugpaper
-----------------
A counter where you can tell openSUSE staff bugs you found and get help
on how to report them properly to bugzilla. This would bring
validation for bugzilla and/or hotfixes/workarounds for the user.
openSUSE Package Machine
------------------------
A counter where people can request software to be packaged and can find
it later at home in a BuildService project. This can also lead to cool
new software for the distribution.
I bet we can come up with more ideas on how to make our booth more
interesting and how to give users that visit us some surplus value.
