Linux nerds. Mostly Czech. Around a thousand of them.

I like this event. That is a lot of stickers though ... do we usually get to 1000 people at a 1000 person event? Typically you're lucky if you can talk to 15-20% of attendees.
Those nerds are greeeeeedy for swag. If there is not 1000 stickers, I guess we can live with that. Use your best judgement please.
For clarity, I am +1 to this event (so we can move it through the system).
As for sticker count, my judgement will be affected by what I can get easily to Brno in time. If I need to do more shipping/production, I'd like to hear support for going above the usual in this event (which I will not block - consider me +0)
Also, I believe @eischmann has the rollup and CZ guides. He may also have the table cloth - I hope he will answer here
Yes, I do have them.
I'm +1 to the event.
As for the number of stickers, I find that 40-50% of the total attendees is usually a good number for stickers to take to this type of event.
Sounds great: +1
+1
This happens in 10 days. Let me know, how do to figure out the logistics.
Approved. Is anyone coming from Brno who I can give swag too? If not, please open a budget ticket to get shipping.

Hello. The event happened. We had a booth there with @vtrefny, @xberry and @harrymichal.
Some pictures from Saturday morning:
We handed out a lot of stickers and beginner guides. I took one package for PyLadies beginner courses (let me know if I should have not).
On Saturday, a lot of people came, mostly for swag. On Sunday, it was less crowded, but people had more interesting questions. We even met other Fedora contributors like @rebus or @svashisht at our booth during the conference.
We've presented CentOS 8 on one of the computesr and had interesting questions about EPEL 8 asked by some of the visitors, which was nice. Somebody even got a few CentOS stickers and left them on our booth (I wonder how we can request CentOS swag the next time).
Several pictures of SWAG from other booths, for inspiration:
Interestingly, openSUSE annually has a quiz with raffle for more expensive swag and it brings a lot of people to their booth at the raffle times. The quiz makes people learn stuff about openSUSE.
