(thanks Tony - but just now, I cannot see it there:
http://infopoint.jonobacon.org/index.php/Previous_Infopoints
is this where you put the photo link?

Thanks, yes, I had wondered about putting up a Tux flag of some sort, it 
would be easy an dlight - a garden cane 4 feet high in a heavy pot or 
taped. or similar. For me currently it would have to be highly portable 
and adaptable, (and hopefully imply fun).

I found that the best thing to draw a small crowd was - a small crowd 
(!) Every time I went to the table front and did something on the PC, 
people were tending to look over my shoulder. If I had someone in 
conversation, and also went to the front, to demo something, there were 
two of us there, active, and a small crowd was probable.

One person at the back of the mini crowd actually said
'I had heard about linux, but had never actualy *seen* it. Now I have I 
will start with it!'

This was said as if he had never really had the chance to see it and now 
could not see anything to stop him.

Viva Infopoint!
