hi. |

3 |
after already posting in -core someone pointed me to this thread ;) |
4 |
|
5 |
1) I am going to be at FOSDEM (Flights booked still looking into some cheap |
6 |
B&B for a night or sth for me and a friend who's coming too) |
7 |
2) I might still have a high quality print of the Gentoo logo from |
8 |
Linuxday(.at) in 2003 where I was (pretty much by myself unfortunately) |
9 |
doing a talk and a small booth |
10 |
3) back then I handed out more than 30odd cds for sure .. but I guess |
11 |
nowadays a lot more people have fast internet connections |
12 |
4) If there's gonna be a booth i can help out a bit but I'll want to look |
13 |
around a bit more as well since it's gonna be my first FOSDEM and we're only |
14 |
gonna be there some time saturday morning and fly back sunday evening. |
15 |
