Material for GNOME Events

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

One of the things we have talked about is providing talking points for people manning a GNOME booth. A list of most commonly asked questions, points we want to make, things to demo, etc. Plus handouts.

I think we have an opportunity to put this in practice.

Christer Edwards is putting together the GNOME booth for the Utah Open Source Conference in October. He plans to give GNOME demos but was asking if there are key points we want to make.

Thoughts from people that have manned booths at other conferences? Demos that worked particularly well? Points we as the GNOME marketing team want to make sure we make?

I know at SCALE they showed the Friends of GNOME page and wished they had handouts. Perhaps we could put together handouts about what the GNOME Foundation is, what GNOME is and a Friends of GNOME page?

I also saw that if Inkscape was open, people tended to stop and just play with it.
