Rumours are that the .Org pavillion may be `podiums' with one or
two people standing next to them, rather than the familiar benches. Hopefully Debian UK will be able
to blag some space, and hopefully we'll have enough room for all
the t-shirts, polo-shirts, blank CD's, case badges and a dozen-or-so Debian
peeps that people seem to enjoy talking to.
We've been promised plenty of space this year, which is '''good'''. Debian and Emdebian may be split up so we don't cause too much of a roadblock in just one area of the show. *grin* We should expect the usual throng of people looking for tech support on Debian and other distros, plus lots of people just coming to talk with us.

== Exhibitor Badges ==

(!) Keybuk (Scott) has the master TeX templates for the badges from the previous show. The badges needs to be made 20mm shorter to fit the holders at the Olympia--when somebody gets one through the post can they measure it exactly.

For the official exhibitor badges, you need to ask me (Steve) to get them. I've no idea what they're going to look like yet. ASAP please! If you're not on theis list by the end of Sunday then you may not get one. Ditto, let me know if you need a car pass.

== Stuff to sell ==

||150 case badges ||(sold 110 easily last time)||
||50 woody DVD sets ||(sold 41 last time)||
||50 woody i386 CD#1 ||(sold 56 last time)||
||50 Knoppix ||(sold 38 Morphix last time, but people were actually asking for Knoppix)||
||50 Testing i386 CD#1||(latest d-i beta)||

|| || M|| L||XL||XXL||
||Polo shirts: ||20||20||10|| 0||
||Black Ts: ||30||30||20|| 10||

And if people want anything special ordering (e.g. long-sleeved T) we can add those to the list as extra items.

== .Org Linux party ==

Brian is organising a party for the .org people on Tuesday night in the Pizza Express next door to Olympia. Cost will be GBP 15 for a ticket, including 3 course meal and (maybe) some entertainment. Details from Brian are at http://www.linuxexpo.org.uk/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=28 and he'd like some idea beforehand of Debian numbers to expect. If you're planning on going, please indicate so in the '''Party?''' column in the table above.
