Don't get us wrong. Organizing a booth is something we absolutely want people to do. But, recognize that first impressions count. Your booth will likely be the first encounter that many people have with Ubuntu. So, plan accordingly.

Gather all the materials you need for your booth well in advance. Know your exact booth size, where it will be located at the venue, and how many people it can accommodate comfortably. Arrive several hours before the show or exhibition begins. If you are going to have computers on hand, have them all tested and working flawlessly.

Remember that you are the face of Ubuntu. Look sharp. Dress well. Practice good hygiene. Ubuntu is the best system there is, but it will be remembered by the way you conduct yourself too.

Regardless of the venue, you will encounter people that do not share your enthusiasm for Ubuntu. Many have never heard of it. Respect them. Understand that it's not their fault. It's our fault for not being out there sooner.

Some people have heard of Ubuntu and may have even tried it before. They might be dismissive. Respect what they say. Don't argue, but also don't buy into their narrative. Ask for clear examples of anything they criticize. Take notes. Offer to follow up. Try to understand how current the issues are. Are they recounting events that happened 6 years ago?
