<div>If anyone knows of the Yubikey (little press button one time password generator) .. </div><div> </div><div>the lady who founded it on a shoestring needed to get some visibility for it at the start and couldn't afford stands at the tradeshows (and only had a couple of non working prototypes) so she used to go on her own to the trade fairs (CES, CEBIT etc) with some brochures and her dummy prototypes and hang around the stairs near the stands of big boys in the networking and security players and used to grab people as they left their stands ... shes probably reasonably attractive which i bet helps .. but she was quite successful with this approach ... She had this Steve Gibson guy (from TWIT:Security Now podcasts ) twisted around her little finger and he used to generate so much publicity for her and yubikey from this :-)</div>
<div> </div><div>What you guys could do is get some nifty double sided plasticised flyers (harder to screw up and throw in the bin ;-) knocked up with some mock up pics of the likely final board and connector and some key points (costs and performance being one) on it and the projects ... and a couple of people should go to CEBIT (only £30 a ticket) and hand them out and get some extra visibility maybe</div>
<div> </div><div>The Rasp. Pi launches anytime now (should have done by CEBIT in mid march ) and its created a big splash internationally and domestically (UK) .. If you guys make sure you replicate (if thats what you want to do) the pi's i/o interface then it pretty much should be compatible with this "Gert Board" another of the Broadcom people has developed for the pi (that way your kit can piggy back on it potentially) which interests a lot of the beagleboarders, schools, hobbyists etc</div>
