Given that part of our intended audience is geeks, and part of our intention |
| 13 |
is to attract fresh talent, I'd say it would be fully professional of us to |
| 14 |
fill a conference booth with cool and crazy, sci-fi / "Inspector Gadget" like |
| 15 |
Gentoo related stuff. (Has anyone ever tried installing Gentoo on a Dalek?) |

That, however, is exactly the opposite of another understanding of |
| 18 |
professional, which intends to attract seasoned system administrators or |
| 19 |
company representatives. |
