-<p>There have been numerous problems with the organization of booths
-in the past.  This document aims to shed some light upon the issue.
-</p>
-
-<p>First of all, the Debian Project does not have any money to spend
-on exhibitions, especially not on returnables (such as floor space, carpets,
-tables etc.).  As a result the project needs to get the entire booth
-sponsored by the organizers and not just floor space in order to run a
-proper and well staffed booth.
-</p>
-
-<p>Secondly, everything that is shown on a Debian booth during an
-exhibition is loaned from individuals or companies who provide a means
-of support to us.  All equipment is maintained by Debian people who
-are interested in running that booth.  All expenses, be it lodging or
-travelling, are normally paid by these individuals out of their own pocket.
-All other expenses that make the booth look interesting (i.e. banners,
-posters, t-shirts etc.) are also paid by individuals.
-</p>
-
-<p>This means that when providing only floor space for a booth, the booth
-would look very poor, since no electricity would mean that computers
-won't be able to display anything (since electricity is needed to
-power the machines and monitors), or only laptops could be used, but
-they can store power for no longer than four hours.  Additionally, it
-also means that people, who would staff the booth, will actually have
-to sit on the naked floor if nobody provides tables, chairs and a
-carpet.
-</p>
-
-<p>In short, such a booth would look very poor.  It is quite
-questionable whether this would demonstrate the high level of an
-exhibition, poor project or display that the organizers don't have
-money or don't want to spend money on free software projects.
-</p>
-
-<p>After all, such free software projects create the products what the organizers
-get paid for.  Without all those projects that provide this wonderful
-free software, there won't be conferences covering this very software.
-There also won't be many companies that base their business on this
-type of software.  Taking this into account, where is the problem for
-conference organizers to provide a fully fledged booth for these
-projects?  How much is $500 to spend for one booth for a company that
-take in an entrance fee for a single person which is more than this?
