Hi Evyatar,

Thanks for picking up this task.  :)  I think it would be really cool if its
possible for you to really get down into customizing the post-install stuff
too.  A couple ideas for this:

* having some bookmarks pre-configured that point to important resources
that a booth person would want to reference (kde.org, the promo youtube
channel, userbase, techbase, community wiki, etc)

* having some example Plasma Activities pre-configured for common tasks
(e.g. a 'school' activity, a 'social' activity, a 'work' activity, a
'development' activity)

* I think Stu's idea about having some pre-loaded media for demos of
audio/video/photo apps is a good one.

* One final idea is to setup a 'KDE Promo booth account' for some of the
popular social services out there like identi.ca, open desktop, twitter,
facebook, etc.  That way we could demo our apps and plasmoids that take
advantage of these services without booth staff having to use their personal
accounts.  If someone does this and there was some way for you to
pre-configure the installation to have this account added in the relevant
apps/plasmoids that would be cool.
