         Additionally            I would remove the "brilliant", it's IMO a 
bit too much self-praise (Eigenlob)

Maybe mention that _all_ machines at our booth were running already KDE 4.x, 
and that we were able to demo it on Linux, Mac and Windows ?
Scalable potato guy and all that :-)

Maybe also mention the community building, many guys met each other for the 
first time. This is always a very nice thing about these events.
