First off, the photobooth idea is amazing. I'd like to say that
we
should be doing something similar at every event, encouraging people
to get their pic taken at our booth. But making someone where a
costume for 2-3 days could be challenging. So I propose we build a
portable photo board[1] to include in Event Boxen. Probably of
something more goofy, I actually thought the Beefy Miracle[2] would be
a good choice, since it's easy to come up with.
In addition, one would need a web cam and a dedicated laptop to take
the pictures and upload them. This should be an easy to-do. Having a
web cam could prove invaluable for other things as well, like doing
mini tutorials.
Logistically, this could be a bit challenging when you have only an
8'x8' space, but this can be handled pretty easily. One way is to
move the table and chairs to one side and stand in the booth, or sit
behind (tightly) the table and work from there. The other half of the
booth could easily be used to take pictures and show off our cool
stuff!
Another way to do it could be with the new Cheese:

That would take much less space, and could be a fun demo of what one can
do with Fedora.
And if the Beefy Miracle face overlay has some success, it could even be
included out of box in Cheese. :)
