Hiya Folks, This Saturday is the annual Ohio LinuxFest[1] in scenic Columbus, Ohio. We're expecting over 1,000 geeks of differing skill levels to be in attendance. Also in attendance will be GNOME, as a dot-org sponsor of the fest. We've got a little table and we're getting a box full of goodies from the foundation to showcase new hotness in GNOME (AIGLX bling in fedora etc).
We're still open to ideas on how best to present the project to everyone and what other things we should be doing. For people who have done similar things before, is the best way to get people to try it by burning GNOME only live CDs or handing out full distro stuff (there will be scads of Ubuntu CDs available)? Do fliers help? Or do they just get recycled? Anyone have ideas on which of the posters available from live.gnome.org might work the best to showcase stuff? I feel like I have this largely under control, but as always, experiences from those who have done footwork marketing would be appreciated. Also, if you're on the list and attending and would like to help let me know (it's not too late to register, it's free!). Thanks!
