Imho:
* KF5 -> look we're still doing cool, new and useful stuff
* Plasma Active -> same
* new devs
* new JtG supporters

Users not so much - wrong event for that imho.

Qt has the stall next to us.

Still needed afaict.

Claudia ordered a flag yesterday that we can use for this or above.

Jonathan said he'd bring one iirc?

Claudia ordered shirts and stuff. (Some new things this year \o/ )

Good question. Jos? Jonathan? Whatyahave?

Forms should be doable. Anyone up for the posters. Jonathan are you
printing any already? Does anyone else still need to do that?

I'll bring some. How many do you think we'll need?

Hmmm good idea. Anyone up for getting some printed?

Do we have something that we can use for devs? The handbook is a bit
much I think.

Aaron, Paul: What hardware are you already bringing so John doesn't
have to bring this all?

Yeah I think those are the main ones. I also have the feeling that
we'll have to tell people about those actively and not expect that
they already know about them.

Also: What Carl said.
