The booth is actually a joint booth of OpenPrinting and OpenPrinter. Therefore 
the 2 contacts are me as the submitter and representative of OpenPrinting and 
one of you as representative of OpenPrinter. Initially I had put you, Leonard, 
as this second contact. So I keep it this way. Please have an eye at e-mails 
from FOSDEM, also check your spam folder. You will asked to register and account 
in their CfP system.

When editing the abstract I have also found out that one cannot change the 
second contact any more when editing the proposal.

Note that during the application process there are just 2 persons to be 
registered for a booth. I do not know whether later on further persons need to 
register (it is the first time that I apply for a booth on FOSDEM).

Independent whether we all have to register or not, our booth crew will be for now:

Till Kamppeter - OpenPrinting organization lead
Akarshan Kapoor - OpenPrinting contributor Scanning Support for PAPPL, also
                   Zephyr RTOS enthusiast

Léonard Hartmann - OpenPrinter, CTO of OpenTools
Nicolas Schurando - OpenPrinter
Laurent Berthuel - OpenPrinter

Further people, especially on the OpenPrinting side, could join.

We are using the name "OpenPrinting", CamelCase and no space.

I suggest you use "OpenPrinter", once it fits better to "OpenTools" and also it 
harmonizes with "OpenPrinting". I see that you sometimes use "Open Printer" 
(space) and sometimes "Openprinter" (just uppercase "O" but lowercase "p" and no 
space).

WDYT?

Abstract how it will appear on the FOSDEM site:

I have replaced my initial description of the OpenPrinter by your text now. I 
hope it is OK this way. Please tell me whether I should keep the text following 
after this or whether the OpenPrinter part of the whole abstract should only be 
this one.
