Activities

We'll have a stand, it's going to look like this, and the .Org Pavillion is laid out like this.

  • Find out Layout/Tables-required from Brian Teeman

Things we have done at our stand in previous years, to help plan what stuff would be useful to bring:

  • Chat to the punters about Free software and why Debian rocks in a non-biased way.
  • Sell stuff, then give them free-beer (see: stuff to buy first)

  • Show off lots of weird (and not so weird) hardware running Debian.
  • Boast about being the biggest GNU/Linux distro to show up(!)

Also see the:

TODO

Things _you_ need TODO

Things "somebody" needs TODO

Need to arrange with John Winters (maybe also UKLinux t/a DebianShop?) to get:

  • Metric bucket-load of Binary i386 single CD sets
  • Stack of Knoppix (or Morphix?) i386 CD's
  • Smaller stack of i386 DVD's
  • Debian T-Shirts (the Phil Hands Classick, in off-white cotton ?)

  • Buy free-beer, to give away if they buy a CD (also non-alcholic ones too)

  • Get 200 CDR blanks for other Archs + Sources
  • Little "download the source here" stickers/labels for the CD's

Possibilites:

  • Flyers bragging about Debian
  • Matching Black Debian polo-shirts for everyone (see: [http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/31465.html El Reg a la Debian])

  • Canvas Banner that can be rolled up and re-used for other shows (Maggie said they'd sponsor one?)

Things _me_ (Paul Sladen) needs TODO

  • Pickup the large Debian sign from Scott in Birmingham
  • Pickup the smaller signs from UKLinux in stockport and Debianise them

Miscellaneous Question

  • How to get exhibitors' passen?

  • Whose mobile to ring when we get stuck?

  • Times and correct system for getting in to do Tuesday setup?

  • Car-passes and parking arrangements? (Getting in is impossible otherwise)

Accommodation

It's London, it's all expensive. Here's a vox-pop:

  • Paul Sladen suggests: find some floorspace, it's cheaper.
  • Paul Cupis suggests: [http://www.hoteloholic.co.uk/index1.asp?area=Earls%20Court]

  • Paul Cupis suggests: Travel Lodge ( <80.00ukp/night)

  • Phil Hands suggests: Paragon (225.00ukp/night, "Earls Court Show discount?")
  • Steve McIntype suggests: Kings Cross Thistle ("early breakfast")

  • Dafydd Harries suggests: Holland House Youth Hostel (39.00ukp/night in 2000)
