Yup, excellent opportunity to create press.

No, no. You go around and give out leaflets that tell people that they can win 
a laptop if they visit the KDE booth (together with a "what is KDE?" 101) 
When you have them at the booth you tell them about KDE, that it is an all 
volunteer organisation and talk them into giving a donation. After they have 
listened to you, regardless of donation, they can get a raffle ticket, after 
all you can give away as many of those as you like. If they already use KDE 
they may be inclined to give a donation after your talk, if they don't know 
KDE you just successfully introduced them and can reward them with a raffle 
ticket to confirm the "KDE is cool" impression. If they are just their to win 
the laptop, well at least they have heard about KDE now, give them their 
damned raffle ticket so that they go away and that you can concentrate on 
people who are truly interested.

Cheers,
Waldo
