audience? How do we find those who might with a little encouragement be
able to give back in various ways, potentially monetary, but more
importantly with various resources that help the quality and notoriety
of Scribus. Just showing that this is a place where feedback is
listened to and reacted upon might be a revelation to some.<br></blockquote><div><br>There are quite a few "graphic trade shows" where we could have a presence. These events take place periodically, often in the same city, so the industry people know the event and expect it to happen over years. Some of those events are known internationally, like DRUPA. Chicago, Toronto and Montreal have their own trade show. And I am sure that there is at least one in many countries. Having a booth to showcase the FLOSS alternative would be a smart move. The real question is more about human resources.<br>
<br>I think we should consider participate to DRUPA next year since this particular event only takes place every 4 years.<br><br>We should contact the organizers (might be pretty late at this point in time but worth to try imo) and try to negotiate a special price for a booth. In any event, we could brainstorm a bit over ideas like this. We could be invited by a government, a city.<br>
