I'm hoping that Eddy can pick them up. The stock list at

  http://www.einval.com/~steve/DebianT/

is current; Phil and I counted them last weekend. There's also a small
number of the little swirl stickers remaining, and a cash box.

Exactly. I wouldn't bother any more - the vast majority of people that
want Debian will be able to download it these days. We've never had
more than a couple of people ask at shows in the last 3 years or so.

At my place along with the Ts. I've also got some posters.

It would be very useful, yes. I have some *old* flyers available
(circa 2001-vintage) if you think they might be helpful, but I doubt
it.

Exhibitor badges are *very* useful. Lance Davis <lance@uklinux.net> is
in charge of the .org pavilion; I'd suggest you talk to him.
