I don't think there will be many people going: "Oh I have this ${DEVICE} in my bag somewhere with all cables and power supply. Please have it." People usually don't carry surplus HW with them. A little money donation box might be a good idea as well. It is easier to organize and people usually carry money to FOSDEM (you just need to convince them to give it to you instead of O'Reilly :-) Cheers, Philippe PS: /me hopes to have some time to drop by and say hello
