Oops--didn't mean to skip your name.  I just didn't meet you at the booth!

I figured.  How do you picture this events toolkit?  And how would you 
want to deal with money issues; for example, if the kit included
  - t-shirts for sale, or
  - brochures that were mailed to you, or
  - brochures you printed yourself (on high-quality paper 
     using a high-quality color ink-jet), or 
  - business cards for you, or
  - KDE 3 CD's for sale?

I think if done in a semi-organized fashion, these kinds of sales should 
bring money into (promotion || events).kde.org.  Would you (and other expo 
folks) be able to pay upfront or would you need the inventory fronted to 
you?

How did this work for the brochures at the German expo?

peace,

mark
