Activities
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.
- Show off lots of weird (and not so weird) hardware running Debian.
- Sell Debian T-shirts.
- Sell prepressed i386 binary and source CDs.
- Sell burned-to-order CD-Rs for other archs.
- Have fun!
