In this particular case, it'd be nice if someone from GNOME Deutschland 
let the gugmasters mailing list know they were going to have an event 
presence at LinuxTag, and if someone from Lanedo told us that they were 
sponsoring the stand (note, for LinuxTag, sponsoring the stand means, I 
believe, paying for printing and supplying hardware, mostly - and 
several Lanedo people man the stand most of the time).

In general, we really should be encouranging the various user groups to 
give advance notice of GNOME participation in events so that we can tell 
people about it, and ensure institutional support (centrally printed 
posters, merchandise for sale, Friends of GNOME sign-up brochures, etc) 
where possible & desirable.

Cheers,
Dave.
