Older Material/Thoughts (to be deleted when worked in)

Few ideas:

Extract:

  • use Live CD - even rereleased last version
  • Perhaps some GNUstep merchandize, like GNUstep T-shirts, GNUstep mouse pads,

GNUstep stickers, etc. Though I'm not sure we could so easily afford these yet. Quickly lurking through the Internet, I calculated that 20 T-shirts come to around 60 EUR, 30 T-shirts to ~85 EUR, and 50 T-shirts around ~130 EUR.

  • perform a [Survey]

Portability demonstration

Use several machines side-by side with:

  • GNUstep with Camaelon, and perhaps the Etoile system
  • some Apple hardware for showing that the same apps can run on GNUstep and OSX
  • some Linux machine
  • some BSD machine
  • some x86 hardware to show that GNUstep is even available on Windows
  • some other hardware (connected to the LCD we had) showing a presentation/video on GNUstep - something flashy, with sound and talk
