I want to clarify it more, cause it is really NOT good to get the
negative impression out of a video showing EXACTLY the opposite!
In the first instance that our booth is shown (the longer one during
the video) we can see 6 people behind the booth (Andreas and Gerold
hacking, Joerg speaking with Max, Anastasis-the new greek ambassador
setting up moblin demo, Dimitris-convincing Evelina to contribute, and
Evelina-a yet to be contributor). As for in front of the booth there
are 6 (SIX) ambassadors (including Max) waiting for people to stop by
and be informed for Fedora.
That (at least 12 contributors around a booth) is by FAR beyond any
other booth and yes I believe we had the best booth on FOSDEM (tweets
and reports show it).
In the second instance showing our booth there are 4 ambassadors
hacking behind the booth, but the video doesn't show the front side of
the booth so we can't tell.
It's really a pity to underestimate the effort of many contributors,
especially when we merely all of us have stated in our reports that we
had some points to improve on our next appearance. Finally consider
that about half of the ambassadors where kinda new on this kind of
event and so there effort should be much more appreciated.
Hope this thing ends here, so we can move on to our next events making
Fedora what it deserves to be :)

Regarding to that video there were 5 fedora ambassadors in front of the
booth chatting and generally being available to the people. Max and Joerg
here having a discussion and there were only 4 ambassadors sitting and
hacking.
The way I see it, there is no need for flaming and "fighting" each other
about our booth. Next year we will have the best booth and a better
marketing policy.
