Older Material/Thoughts (to be deleted when worked in)

Few ideas

• http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.gnustep.discuss/browse_thread/thread/9580d4fb865bfa4c/f6edba0f74411dec?q=fosdem&rnum=1#f6edba0f74411dec

Extract

• use Live CD - even rereleased last version
• Perhaps some GNUstep merchandize, like GNUstep T-shirts, GNUstep mouse pads,

GNUstep stickers, etc. Though I'm not sure we could so easily afford these yet. Quickly lurking through the Internet, I calculated that 20 T-shirts come to around 60 EUR, 30 T-shirts to ~85 EUR, and 50 T-shirts around ~130 EUR.

• perform a [Survey]

Portability demonstration

Use several machines side-by side with:

• GNUstep with Camaelon, and perhaps the Etoile system
• some Apple hardware for showing that the same apps can run on GNUstep and OSX
• some Linux machine
• some BSD machine
• some x86 hardware to show that GNUstep is even available on Windows
• some other hardware (connected to the LCD we had) showing a presentation/video on GNUstep - something flashy, with sound and talk
