Yes that would be cool enough to attract some attention, giving away the latest live CD ,showing 1 clean installed server and 1 with the booted live CD, however I would prefer to have a bit more time to organize the one or the other, maybe we should skip this one and prepare for the next major event? I think we would need some artwork like posters with Fred and printed CD's some flyers with the website name , etc. etc. I would be prepared to finance to a reasonable limit like 75eur but that would be hardly enough.

However what would you think, skip this one an be better prepared for the next event?
Which results in the question what the next event will be big enough to do a "fan-stand".
