Why is the general idea that truly interested developers are only truly
interested up to the point where they need to take some action in the shape of
visiting haiku-os.org and downloading Haiku?
I think a good demonstation on screen and some knowledgable people present to
answer their questions will be effective enough in raising enthusiasm. Provide
them with documentation on paper, so that the "when they get home" phase is
covered too.
If the underlying idea is "People are basically lazy", I say this:
Do you think the group that sticks a CD in their computer at home just because
of a "let's have a look at this Haiku thing" is so relevant versus the group
whose (instilled) enthusiasm is such that it lasts all the way home and then
motivates them to do some geek-easy effort like downloading Haiku?
If you say to that: "Yeah but we need both groups, it's all about numbers at
this stage", my reply is that the group whose further actions are now still
dependent on 'having a CD that's ready to insert' or not, will -at a future
podium for Haiku where there are CD's- join the group of 'early downloaders'.
I'm convinced that the lack of a demo CD now will not lead to "lazy" geeks
present at the Haiku booth forgetting about Haiku's existence, especially
seeing that Haiku already is getting a decent amount of attention in geek media.
Nor will this group avoid Haiku just because there were no CD's being handed
out at this gathering.
