JDLL 2018 // Event report edit
- About the visitors:
- What kind of people come to the event? Students and newbies
- How technical is the event? There is all level, very technical things (Rust, BGP) and general free software talks
- How much is it about 'open source'? It is definitely an 100% Free software event
- Attendance Details
- Tell us about the event Talk to a lot of people, offer them to look and try openSUSE at the boot, help openSUSE users if they needed it
- Did you have a booth and how did that work? Yep, I held a booth, people were happy to see openSUSE which is not known as it deserve in France
- did we meet noteworthy people? they all are !
- What can we improve for the future...
- Would you go again? Sure !
- What more can you do to make it better? I will make video and presentation as well as translate flyers in French !
Flyers
The flyers have three goals:
- give people something they can take home to study and find links to further information (we used to have people photograph the posters, that is why the flyers have the same information on them!)
- get people intrigued and get them to ask questions
- give something to our ambassadors to talk about to booth visitors
- note that ambassadors are often not as knowledgeable as we are about openSUSE and need this
Questions:
- did people take the flyers, read them? Yes, but they were in english so most people didn't read them fully
- did they lead to questions?
- did/can the booth people use the flyers as 'talking points'?
- anything else?
More stuff
- We also have DVD's, stickers and pluche geeko's and t-shirts. We know the pluche geeko's are popular. How about the DVD's, T-shirts, stickers and other things? Do you think they're worth the effort? Can we improve? What do others do?
I had bootable USB key with Leap 42.3 on it, I sold a lot of it (they were paid by the french community)
