This is about the [[http://fsfe.org/contribute/booth/booth.en.html|FSFE booth]] activities. One of the main tasks of the Free Software Foundation Europe is to inform the public about [[http://www.fsfe.org/freesoftware|Free Software]] and related topics. For this, it is essential to be present with a booth on tradeshows, fairs, expos, and other local events. Helping at such a booth is a good way to get active for Free Software.
