Well-said. There's two aspects:
 - why are we here (at this specific event)?
 - what message do we want to spread?

Note that for QtWS those were well-answered, in advance, and Eike 
(coordinator) made sure that the team knew what the answers were. For FOSDEM, 
not so much -- in the course of the weekend we developed a good story for the 
second part, but it would have been good to have that ready at the start.

FOSDEM is perhaps a little special: there's a lot of other nerds there, so the 
questions we get are different and more wide-ranging than we might get at an 
industry event. (e.g. activities, e.g. Sanskrit input methods, e.g. keyboard 
layouts with tall enter keys).

This is partly a thing to coordinate with the -promo team.

Hi everyone.

As someone who was at a KDE's booth for the first time, I gained some
amazing experience from participating and definitely recommend it to those
that never attempted it.

I was positively surprised by the diversity of people coming up and asking
for information. We had several developers asking questions and providing
feedback, people that never used a GNU/Linux system or KDE software before
and also business individuals looking for solutions for their companies.

My main suggestion for future improvement would be to be more prepared and
strategic. The main question to answer is: What does KDE want to achieve by
running a booth at a specific event?

I have several proposals on that, I will try to bring them up during the
upcoming KDE Promo sprint next week.

Thanks again to everyone that helped getting me involved and kudos for
doing a great job promoting KDE and its products!

Cheers,
Neofytos

Help make the KDE Slimbook II become a success

[Paul Brown]

Hello everybody,

Today we are pushing the KDE Slimbook II. This laptop was built with input 
from our community and it is aimed at all users, not only the techies. The 
website we have built to promote it is here:

Please help us make this product a success and we will have more manufacturers 
wanting to put KDE technologies on their devices. Share, retweet, retoot, 
upvote, post to other forums, interested forums, and communities.

Thanks

Paul
