+The focus of the OSGeo booth at the Intergeo was on FOSS business and service providers. Interest in the software and developemt processes was far less than at the [[LinuxTag 2006]] which makes sense considering the different focus of the events.

 By far most frequently asked question by normal folk was about geodata. Lacking availability, high cost, unreal licensing conditions and complaints about not getting any geospatial data were the most emotionally discussed topics.

+It would be cool to get more developers involved at [[Intergeo 2007]] and have an area for them to meet and collaborate face to face as it happened a lot at FOSS4G (especially GeoTools). Possibly some international folk would consider to come and talk or even have their own booth there. Geospatial Free and Open Source Software is a big thing in Europe and it is growing. It is not a hype anymore but business as usual supported by a healthy ecosystem of businesses.

-With an exhibition area of 29 by 16 meters (95 by 50 feet) and two rest areas of 10 by 5 meter (30 by 15 feet) the OSGeo Open Source Park was one of the largest booths at the fair. The focus of the Intergeo trade show is clearly business and end customer oriented, the on and off hacker could be seen lurking around to get hooked up to the internet but mostly it was suits and users. Of the 15,000 people visiting the Intergeo several thousand people came to the booth to pick up OSGeo flyers and listen to the presentations. Those who wanted to get more detailed information talked to the booth staff of roundabout 30 people from all areas of IT and FOSS GIS business. In short - it was a great success.
