FOSDEM is very developer heavy, there are very few new users about or people who don't know what KDE is. In past years I've felt we should be focusing more on attracting new devs, but it's hard to figure out how to do that. The talks are possibly the "attract" mode with the booth being there for follow up and help desk. There's certainly no shortage of people hacking code... > Presentations can be used to send people to the stall... > https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/track/cross_desktop/ In the past we've had a Kolab system showing the calendar, I'll try sort something similar this time, the web page may be enough. > For LinuxCon and Qt Dev Days in the U.S., we produced brochures the > size of a U.S. business card (2x3.5in; ~50x89mm).

Perhaps one with the manifesto for anyone to take, one with links for devs to take, and one with links for users to take? Cheers!
