CentOS - Feb 2005 - Centos at FOSDEM in Brussels?

Hi,

I'm a Centos user in Brussels, BE.  I'll be going to the FOSDEM
conference
next weekend and I was thinking about printing up and giving out centos CDs 
while there.

1) any other centos folks going to be at FOSDEM?

2) any guidelines for printing CD's - I can only run 50 or 100...

regards,
-Ryan

I will be there, albeit very busy with other things.

I think it's more important to have flyers with a basic description of 
CentOS, the important characteristics and a URL where they can get more 
inbformation. And on FOSDEM a bigger poster will probably be even more 
helpful as you'll have a crowd everywhere and people may not notice you 
:))

Having just done LinuxWorld Expo, read my article: http://masnetworks.biz

Just some hints.  Bring a CD burner and only burn what you need.  Make
the Single CD Server since it's only 1 CD instead of 3 CD's, and
anyone can use YUM to install additional packages.  Also, I'm not sure
how big FOSDEM is, but 100 CD's were given out in roughly 3 hours at
LinuxWorld.  Someone also told me that most people will end up
throwing out the CD's when they get home.  A lot of people take
anything that's free at tradeshows.
