Apologies for the delay in this, life's been very busy lately...

We had a good, successful show again this year. The show itself seems
to be continuing the trend of fewer visitors each year, but we're
still seeing a good number of visitors at the Debian stand. Not many
wanted to buy DVDs this year, another continuing trend. As Noodles
found ("Use Debian! It's great!"), a large number of those visitors
were already Debian users. The common questions were predictable:

 * When's Etch due?
 * What do you think of Ubuntu?

Phil, Neil and I also took the opportunity to wander round the hall
to try and pick up some more sponsors for Debconf next year, and this
was very useful.

We also helped the usual selection of people that were having problems
installing/using Debian. 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:

 * Brian and Lance at UKLinux for organising the .org pavilion and
   providing us with DVDs and PC badges to sell.

 * The people on the stand, in no particular order:

   * Phil Hands
   * Jonathan McDowell
   * Paul Sladen
   * Neil McGovern
   * Julian Gilbey
   * Sam Clegg
   * Elisabeth Fosbrooke-Brown
   * Paul Hedderly
   * Edward Macnaghten
   * Matthew Garrett
