Haven't been to OSCON at it's new venue but they alway used to provide rooms for BOFS. With at least Glynn, JDub and me there we should have enough people to do something (if nothing else talk about Guadec 2007). And along the lines of this Kathy Sierra piece http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/07/changing_the_us.html we might want to show of hidden / unkown / useful / upcoming features in Gnome. I'm running AIGLX and gimmie so can show off that stuff. Or we could grab the latest Jokosher, Pitivi, Diva (anything else) releases and walk through those.

There's also some space in the lightening talks if anyone is keen to give a progress report of the project. Josh Berkus [postgres guy currently working for Sun] is organizing the 2nd session and has a lot of slots free. Let me know if anyone is keen.

I'll see about the possibility of a stand, if people are available to man it.

I'm not sure if we have time to set up a booth. I can put you in touch with the people in O'Reilly if you want to set up a GNOME booth at the conference. There might be time, I don't know.

Hi, Paul Cooper wrote: That experience made me think about writing a cheat sheet for Expos - but it turns out that there is already an excellent set of notes at http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam/EventsOrganisation thanks to Thilo, Murray and Luis. It will only take a small amount of preplanning from those notes to have a 100% better booth than we had a Boston (although this is a bit of taller than Mickey Rooney competition). There is also the event box, which will be available for LW SF and OSCON. We still need a brave volunteer to drive. If you've been looking for an easy way to dive into GNOME marketing, and you're planning on going to LW SF, shout. If no-one shouts, well, no stand. As an aside - is anyone in Portland organising a booth for OSCON (because I can help out if needed). I'm not sure. I don't think that there has been any groundswell interest in organising one. In fact, our US event organisation is about the worst anywhere - in France, gnome-fr more or less makes sure we have a stand at every important event, in Germany, GNOME-de does the same thing. We have no local US infrastructure for these kinds of things in the US. Anyone fancy founding a GNOME-US?
