Well, I think we should print posters/stickers/t-shirts .. 
I guess that at least one or two big posters is mandatory for the stand;
anybody willing to contribute a nice 5000x3000 image for the posters ? :-)
t-shirts for the person at the stand would be good too... I did set up
a cafepress thing some months ago : http://www.cafeshops.com/gnustep (and I 
remember there was another one too)... For the poster/stickers I think it 
will be easier to contact a local printer.

Something that could be interesting is a small booklet presenting GNUstep 
and the ideas behind it -- the KDE guys did that to a Paris show last year, 
it was a good idea. Dennis ? :-)
(perhaps like OpenStep's guide to new user... see http://docs.sun.com/db/
doc/802-2101?q=openstep&a=load and 
http://docs.sun.com/?q=openstep)

Well, I'm not sure I'll have much time either. Anyway, I will help as much 
as possible ...
