Two USB hubs would be nice, since the USB ports in the notebooks are usually 
already occupied with the external mouse and keyboard, and if somebody comes 
with a USB memory stick or WLAN or digital camera than you have to plug stuff 
in and out.

And there was only WLAN available, and on saturday and sunday the two 
notebooks we had didn't have WLAN hardware. From Xarafa (or so) we got one 
USB WLAN stick which we didn't manage to get working (...we didn't have 
internet) and the Xandros guys borrowed us a WLAN router (which didn't help 
since it's the other way round). So maybe two *well supported* WLAN USB 
sticks would be nice.

While this is true, an open wall with all these notes is also simply 
attracting people to come and have a look at them.

The ones like the KDE business cards, right ?

P.S. did I mention that the boothbox is a really good idea ?
