Well I think we effectively need to set some marketing section on the gnustep 
website -- eg links to t-shirt, logos, background images (check thoses !! 
http://www.lefinnois.net/fond_step/index.php ), marketing brochures, etc.

I'll see that tomorrow -- with a bit of luck the small printing shop I saw 
this evening near my location will let me print some ;-)

But yes, if you are able to print nice A4 posters with GNUstep logos, that 
could be really good to decorate the stand !

Sure :-)

By the way, I will also bring my cd-burner, because Gürkan Sengün (tarzeau
on irc) did an interesting gnustep live-cd (even if not polished -- it's a 
first round! -- I think that could be interesting to show and burn for some
visitors).
