We don't have centralised booth boxes - they have proven to be inefficient and too liable to get stuck in customs when shipping internationally Instead we have distributed booth boxes full of consumable merchandise with a few reusable pieces. They get scattered worldwide and entrusted with advocates who repeatedly represent openSUSE and/or are relatively 'local' to other advocates for easy local redistribution of the box Dimitar is one such advocate, and a good example of one who certainly makes sure we're visible in a large geographic region throughout the year. Douglas DeMaio typically is the contact point for such booth boxes. Dimitar, you make a good point, you do so much for us I'd really like to see if there is something I can do about hardware for your booths. I'm going to talk to Doug and see if theres any way SUSE can help. I can't promise anything - getting hardware within SUSE isn't trivial at the best of times, and currently SUSE is in a short 'stub' financial year while it changes it's financial year dates, and preparing for the acquisition. So the odds aren't in our favour, but I do like the idea. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+ow...@opensuse.org
