Hello, I didn't make it to see Robert's presentation about booth boxes. I guess I'll catch up from youtube. I would like to have feedback from the community, what is the conversation starter item from booth box (or local printed leaflet)? Ideas? As it mentioned, a pen is a good gift but it's not something that our advocates can start conversation about openSUSE. A brochure, is something that the visitor will read once or twice and maybe throw it to trash. Maybe it's the same with the PromoDVD. On the other hand, USB is something that he/she will use almost everyday. If he/she uses other distro (and have it inside our USB), he/she'll have the logo on it and remember to check our distro. If he/she's windows user, he/she will also see the logo and remember maybe the advocate and/or the distro. Personally I find it a good place to start a conversation saying that "It includes an installation and live image of the amazing GNOME and KDE of our awesome openSUSE". If you stop there, then you just gave a USB. Do you continue by giving information where the visitor (mostly the windows user) can find information/support (we printed a leaflet with facebook, google +, twitter, mailing list, IRC etc)? I have an example in my country that a university had a presentation about Ubuntu and during the week, most of those students joined Ubuntu's facebook group. They were asking silly questions such as "do I use sudo with this command?". But it's something we all did when we started. We wanted someone to help us. So, do you give a page with information where they can find you? What else do you do? I think I wrote a post (but definately I made a presentation at a conference). Do you stay behind the table with your laptop and wait the visitor to come talk to you or stay outside of the table and you go to talk to the visitor? I think I saw Jos' presentation once and he said that the tables have to be on the wall behind you. Not between you and the visitor. So visitor enters openSUSE booth and the possibilities to talk to you are high. By the way, it would be awesome if the ISO in the USB stick will be like our PromoDVDs (live and installation) and if possible both archs (although only 64bit will be available from now on, but in my country and I guess other countries, there are pretty old computers too). Don't know if technical is possible. Just an idea. 8GB have to be enough for this, right? Food for though. Thanks for reading.
