Since you ask, I think our target audience is sysadmins and web developers.
Every one of the past five years, at least, has been "the year of the
desktop for Linux", but it never happens. Meanwhile more and more data
centers host Linux machines that few people ever see.
If someone can get us permission to set up in a game store in a mall, that
would be great. Note that setting up outside the store would also require
permission from the company that owns or manages the mall.
Is anybody interested in trying to arrange such a location?
