You must mean OSCON, not GUADEC.  I would be in panic if there wasn't a
huge GNOME presence at GUADEC . :-)

Maybe if you got stuff to give away.  But it's mostly about bling at
those booths as you rightly blogged earlier.  I never really got a lot
of people coming to the booth who didn't a) already use GNOME b) who
didn't really care, but was looking for free stuff.  Frankly I got kinda
bored.  The real stuff was in side conversations.

Perhaps if we had a more flashy booth with lights and booth
entertainment.

That said, I'm sorry I missed your lightening talk.  Unfortunately, it
seems there is a quota on number of conferences I could go to, and I
used mine up.
