I've been there 2 years ago and I think to remember that the participants are 
more technically skilled people (it's at the faculty of computer science, 
no?).

> Who will be at Linux-Info-Tag?
i guess there will be 
* students of CS and related
* developers
* system administrators
* local lugs
* (few) people interested in OSS but not yet users

> Who will be interested in visiting the KDE booth?
my experience (from berlin):
* kde users having specific questions how to configure certain things
* developers talking about technology
* people who do not use kde yet but interested in OSS
* admins who need information how to configure kde for their users

I think it's a good idea to have kiosk and show the effects of different 
configurations. you might go for a profile that allows only using office 
applications and a reduced start menu, and also removes menu items in certain 
apps, e.g. konqui.

for people who do not use kde yet but are interested in OSS  - hmm, the base 
functionality (word processor, mail, internet, ... >> kubuntu?!), and maybe 
some "killer apps" ;-)

hope this helps...
