Leaving this here as a reminder:

Frances Tait from KDAB will be demoing some of KDAB's products on a Steam Deck at Embedded World Exhibition and Conference and has offered to give out KDE stickers to attendees.

So when we make stickers for FOSDEM, we must remember to order more so that @ognarb can take them with him to give to Frances for that.

If there is interest, I can bring a Yocto based RPI4 with 7inch touch screen for the booth as demo device. Either with a Plasma Mobile or a Plasma Bigscreen shell.

Yes please! Plasma Big Screen would be great!

I did a small change of plans, instead of the RPi4, I am very optimistic that I manage to get the plasma-big-screen Yocto demo on top of a brand-new VisionFive-2 RISC-V board. That device alone will probably already catch some attention, I think.

Talking merch: as we have the prices of each individual item

and the cost of transport (approx. €40) we can now figure out the price we can set. Adding a 10% "commission" for KDE, most items work out to around €20, so my suggestion is we set that as a price for EVERYTHING.

The reasons are:

  • Simplifies the price list a bunch
  • People are more likely to be walking around with a 20 euro note than a bunch small notes and coins to pay, say, €17.54
  • Will give us an idea of what is most popular so we will know what to order nest time around, or for Akademy or whatever
