I took part the year before. But did you ever attended a |
| 7 |
keysigning-party with 200 persons? You need a whole day for |
| 8 |
signing the keys :-/ |

By the way: We drank beer together, did we also signed keys? ;-) |

Well. I like manning a booth or installing Gentoo on a HP |
| 28 |
Quad-Opteron or even have a talk with an interesting person |
| 29 |
more than watching a lot of talks. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But as we should be enough Devs this year, we probably could |
| 32 |
prepare a schedule, so that some could visit some talks. |
| 33 |
And as our experience for preparing booths grew within the |
| 34 |
last two years we will do the presentation of Gentoo at |
| 35 |
LinuxTag ever ;-) |
