This commercial fair and its public was very different from our usual Dipro environment. Nevertheless, and despite an unfavourable location, the team succeeded to present a very positive image of Ubuntu. The afflux of visitors was regular and our volunteers nearly permanently busy with explanations and demonstrations. Most of people did not know about the existence of Ubuntu. For several reasons, the Ubuntu personal was at a minimum level (4(-) on Saturday and 3 on Sunday). The space, furniture and material including 1 beamer, 1 screen and 4 laptops (running on live-cd's), and decoration, all from Digipolis at our disposal, was excellent. The new flyers were attractive and easily distributed. Approximately 100 CD's were delivered. A short presentation in 5 slides (screenshots) "how to use a live-CD" has been used as support for basic explanation. We still need a presentation (not a video) with simple screenshots of the steps "how to install Ubuntu in dual-boot on a generic PC". Existing videos are good for home use, but not adequate for fair public (too long and detailed). Our home-made promotion material (banner, support for the posters, ...) is well adapted for Dipro fairs, but when used in more important events, like Accenta, it seems ridiculous compared with the surrounding booths and their decoration. The cost of the booth presentation is naturally different. For this kind of particular events, we should have at disposal some professional decoration material, like deployable (roll-up or pop-up?) posters and logos. Perhaps is this kind of material available by Canonical, or we could ask tips from appropriate people and sponsors for help? Finances: 11,25 euro of public donations, transferred to Ubuntu-be bank-account. Summary It was a very successful event for Ubuntu promotion in a more commercial environment. Our booth brought once again the image of Ubuntu in the daily life in Ghent area. -- <div> Jean <img alt="" src="cid:part1.08010401.05020808@free.fr" height="38" width="38">Ubuntu Belgium Events Team </div> </div> -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:<a href="mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be</a> </blockquote></div> -- Ma petite boutique photo <a href="http://www.pingouin-barbu.info/la-passion-du-pingouin-barbu/">http://www.pingouin-barbu.info/la-passion-du-pingouin-barbu/</a> </div>
