Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been talking to some X.Org folks about sharing an OSCON [1] booth |
| 4 |
with us. OSCON is in Portland, OR, July 24-28, and the exhibit hall is |
| 5 |
open Wednesday and Thursday (26-27). This would help alleviate any |
| 6 |
short-staffing either group has, and likely attract more attention to |
| 7 |
the booth by having more Xgl and other bling, as well as people who can |
| 8 |
actually explain it. |

Mike (vapier) mentioned that at LWE, the O'Reilly guys offered us a |
| 11 |
booth. I presume this means free. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Anyone who has interest in staffing a booth at OSCON or in attending it, |
| 14 |
please contact me. I will try to organize this. Exhibit hall attendance |
| 15 |
is free, but the sessions get pretty expensive. I'm not sure whether we |
| 16 |
would receive any session passes for being exhibitors. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Who actually goes to OSCON? The attendees are roughly 50% devs, 25% |
| 19 |
sysadmins, and 25% suits/other. So it's a fun audience rather than being |
| 20 |
dominated by management. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I would appreciate some help in understanding exactly what's required to |
| 23 |
get a booth together as well, since I've never done this. |
| 24 |

Thanks, |
| 26 |
