[Ubuntu-be] how about Ubuntu's presence on Linux World Expo in March?

[Cedric Janssens]

At my humble opinion, a direction that could be risky but really
interesting is to have a booth in a place dedicated to end users but
not computer oriented. I think at "salon des arts ménagers" for
instance.
But there is a big money needed for this kind of exhibition...
