[affs-project] ideas etc

[MJ Ray]

I'm restoring the cc to fsfe-uk on this until affs-project has more members. Sorry to those on both. When it hits 12 or so, I'll tell both lists, or someone else can if they spot it.

All good ideas, although I'm in no state to help with the last two.
It's hard to decide what is most important without deciding: what are the aims of the AFFS stand? Are we:
- establishing new contacts;
- gathering supporters;
- getting face-to-face feedback;
- selling merchandise;
- trying to get press coverage;
- demonstrating free software;
- distributing information;
- researching new trends;
- trying to find deals?
What's the main aim?
On a more practical note, what's our stand number? It's only just over a month to go, so we should start publicising it. If we stock leaflets for projects without stands, they could tell people the stand number too.
This is an excerpt from something I sent to ctte last week.
