We had a good, successful show. Things didn't seem as busy as they
have been in the past, but that seemed to be the story of the show as
a whole. My personal experience was that many of the visitors to the
stand were existing Debian users coming to say "thanks" and asking us
for more information. Lots of these people wanted to buy Ts and polos
for two reasons: to give something back and to help them advertise
Debian more (to workmates and friends). That was nice!=20

Several people asked us about the relationship between Debian and
Ubuntu, and a few wanted to know how to join up as DDs.

We had the usual couple of commercial companies asking us how to
"partner" with Debian so we would push their proprietary software. We
explained to them politely their misunderstanding.

See the other 2 mails for details of what we sold and how much money
we've made for Debian.

Big thanks to everybody for helping out, especially:=20
