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