Re: FOSDEM: call to action!
Yes, I send them out every year after the stall to this list. The links are on the Phab item for FOSDEM where FOSDEM work is also being coordinated.

Maybe 50-80 pamphlets about KDE / Plasma / Join the Game or whatever it is now called. We had the plush Konqui's, those were really cool. Hoodies were missed. So I'd say something like "2 moving boxes full of swag". As for the table skirt: get something nice-ish, but there's no point in aiuming for form-fitted because things are always going to change shape. A big blue cloth (2m x 3m) plus a "loper" (40cm x 2m) with a KDE logo on it would be really flexible. Perhaps we can sketch some things at our next lunch meeting.

Re: FOSDEM: call to action!
Do we actually have any numbers about how much merchandise we can get through during Fosdem? I know that my Krita tat was all gone by the end of Saturday...

Re: FOSDEM: call to action!
Okay, I will contact my friendly local printer and get estimates. I guess that actually asking for the table is already something set in motion?

While I haven't yet planned my fosdem weekend, I can bring it along again if I end up at fosdem in the fosdem weekend. But a blue piece of cloth also isn't that expensive to source at various locations. /Sune

I'll be there, I ran the stand -- sub-optimally -- last year, because Jonathan who had traditionally done things was out of the loop. I probably forgot to write up results afterwards, too. There's a lot more material about FOSDEM booths than is initially apparent. There have been threads on various lists about merchandise, too: basically it comes down to "print or order stuff locally, get it reimbursed". Just this week at Akademy i gave Sune the blue tablecloth back that we used in 2018 (with "KDE" on the front in Frozen(tm) duct tape).

I don't even know if I will be there. Aw... We would miss you! In any case... This year's stand was a bit bare, and though I were there, I got injured and could only be at the stand on Saturday, which sucked. But Fosdem is still a place where we as KDE should be. So... Could you please share with me what needs to be done to get a stand? I guess that desktop devrooms are a thing of the past, but the stand was still well- visited this year. Also, for everyone else reading this: * We need decoration for the stand. Cloths for the table. Do we have those? We should have vertical banners designed and printed: I would like one for kde as a whole, one for krita + kdenlive, one for plasma -- three would cover the backside of the table, and obviate the necessity to plaster the window with tape. Can KDE e.V. pay for those? * We need volunteers to be there. Booth duty is fun, though this time we should take care to make sure it doesn't become the KDE insiders social event, but a place for people to meet our community. * Merchandise. I have, again, or maybe still, plenty of Krita stuff to hand out. We should have KDE stuff, too. For that, we need designs, we need money; I have a local printer who can do cool stuff and a big suitcase. We need a budget.
