Well-said. There's two aspects:
 - why are we here (at this specific event)?
 - what message do we want to spread?

Note that for QtWS those were well-answered, in advance, and Eike 
(coordinator) made sure that the team knew what the answers were. For FOSDEM, 
not so much -- in the course of the weekend we developed a good story for the 
second part, but it would have been good to have that ready at the start.

FOSDEM is perhaps a little special: there's a lot of other nerds there, so the 
questions we get are different and more wide-ranging than we might get at an 
industry event. (e.g. activities, e.g. Sanskrit input methods, e.g. keyboard 
layouts with tall enter keys).

This is partly a thing to coordinate with the -promo team.
