Have fun reading.
pics are on the way, and vids too. JoeC00L was there for a day too and got 1 hour of material, so you'll get some 
That's exactly the point: Dont forget the Logitech/4Netplayers booth with 3 racing-seats put up with LFS running on them, supported by GP4FLO etc. We - and especially I for myself - had some luck to be at right places in right times, and met the right people with the right contacts. But there is also a lot of work behind it, everyone could do, or try to. Dont relay on only one, the community is, what makes LFS strong.

Games Convention 2005 - a recap
Sooo, we (ocrana) have been at the GC again with a big booth again. This time together with Fujitsu Siemens Computers and AMD, presenting the newest AMD processors in the newest Fujitsu Siemens PCs with LFS running on it
All in all we had 16 PCs running LFS, some of them connected to some nice 50' flat-displays to show the races going on there. In the middle of the booth there were a BMW M3 GT race car which will participate next weekend in german longrun championship for the 6hours of the Nordschleife. People had to change tires against each other to win some stuff (shirts, LAN-PC-bags etc...).
Now you wonder how that all happened... Well, we stepped over to Fujitsu-Siemens and showed them the idea of our Racing.Challenge with LFS. They wer like :O and
and said, "OK, we put the LFS S2 Demo on all PCs that we gonna sell in the second half of 2005. That will be around 300000 (yes, FIVE seros there ) PCs."
Now people can register at the Racing.Challenge page and simply join our demo-servers and qualify for the weekend-tournaments every 2 weeks. Why one should do that? Well in the weekend tournaments we have already prices for the best (like mobile Harddisks, huge mem-sticks etc.) and the winners qualify for the offline event in december where you can win a AMD Dual-Core 3800+, nvidia geforce 7800 gtx, 1GB ram etc. PC, TFT-Display, other PCs, and more hardware. You can win prizes worth about 10000 Euros.
Back to the GC: So we are at that nice booth with Fujitso Siemens, people see and play LFS all the day, while we do shows through the day, with getting people to the stage, letting them cheer some stuff like this:

We were throwing CDs with LFS on it into the crowd, our "famous" waterbelts, shirts etc. It was a really crazy week I tell you. People loved LFS, they were really impressed and did actually pretty well. My teamies DasBoeseC, OPK, Limiter and Stoni explained it all the time again and again to the people, while DrMahossi and me were moderating the show at the booth etc.
I will post pics and vids or at least links to them here later, cause you really have to see those chix there... god damn
If you have any questions, just sh00t here.

Thanx for caring and the critics. We will improve

Hey guys, I take up some ideas here:
Now that LFS S2 Alpha is out, and the Full is coming, it is again time, to get this piece of diamond to the people. As you all know, there are simply never enough people, that know about LFS.
So download it, get it on your MP3 Sticks, CDs, RAM-sticks whatever and spread it, take it to lans, your friends etc. Put the link to liveforspeed.net in your signature in other forums etc. etc. Spread the word, remember your old contacts, maybe some newspaper is between them.
This way we'll make this game even more succesful and acknowledged. And I think several people will be very happy about you and your work.
Dont forget the great additional stuff, like lfsworld and this forum here, as those are parts of LFS and should simply belong to that.
Good Luck!
Yeah, it's a copy, but as you can read, that's the way more better written Thread for that So guys, lets ROLL! I am already.. Watch out for the tongue! :P illepall 
Edit (14.8.2005):
- LFS S2 Alpha on all Consumer PCs sold by Fujitsu-Siemens from week 33 till end of this year (ca. 300000 - 400000 expected, not unlocked) in germany.
- Fujitsu-Siemens booth with 16 PCs running lfs only on Games Convention (www.gc-germany.de)
- www.racing-challenge.de the challenge powered by Fujitsu SIemens, especially for the casual gamer. (more infos on that coming this week)
