Preparing for a booth (my version - Northeast LinuxFest and Usenix LISA
- LinuxCon Boston where I was a participant)
Contact KDEev to volunteer to be the booth organizer or a member of the
team. (often via the KDE promo mailing list)
Contact the show's organizer if it is local (contact for larger shows
may have been instigated by KDEev)
[[materials requests done with more than a month's lead time]]
Request materials from KDEev (buttons, Join the Game brochures,
t-shirts, etc.)
Request CDs/DVDs from distributions (Was able to get them from Kubuntu,
Fedora and SUSE for the most recent Northeast LinuxFest)
Print a booth sign (I made a design and had it printed at my local
Staples copy center on vinyl 2ftx3ft - multiple use: Northeast
LinuxFest, LISA...) carried rolled in tube.
Print (B&W) copies of the KDE booklet (again done at Staples copy center
- done last year, and still had a few for this year's LinuxFest)
Print and prepare ahead appropriate "...and KDE is My Community" and
"Powered by KDE" stickers (full sheet label paper)
Booth Supplies:
Plastic Case to hold/carry supplies.

wheel cart to transport)
Bungee strap(s) to keep control of things on the two-wheel cart.
Alternate case with its own wheels and handle (smaller than plastic bin)
(used for a different organization):

Extension cord and power strip
Booth Sign mounting options (zip ties, large and medium clips, adhesive
removable hooks (3-M Command)
Join the Game QRCode (printed on standard paper and displayed in clear
acrylic stands
Table sheet (may be supplied at a large show like LISA)
Table front sign (Paper version of larger booth sign)
Laptop(s) (At LinuxCon one of the booth organizers brought a larger
monitor for easier demo viewing) (would be nice to have tablet for
Plasma Active [grin] )
Pad of writing paper for people to leave notes or for them to take notes
away.
Pen/pencil, elastics to organize stickers, magic marker (Sharpie)
Small "Tupperware" containers to organize buttons, small stickers, etc.
