Hi all,
I've been talking to some X.Org folks about sharing an OSCON [1] booth
with us. OSCON is in Portland, OR, July 24-28, and the exhibit hall is
open Wednesday and Thursday (26-27). This would help alleviate any
short-staffing either group has, and likely attract more attention to
the booth by having more Xgl and other bling, as well as people who can
actually explain it.
Mike (vapier) mentioned that at LWE, the O'Reilly guys offered us a
booth. I presume this means free.
Anyone who has interest in staffing a booth at OSCON or in attending it,
please contact me. I will try to organize this. Exhibit hall attendance
is free, but the sessions get pretty expensive. I'm not sure whether we
would receive any session passes for being exhibitors.
Who actually goes to OSCON? The attendees are roughly 50% devs, 25%
sysadmins, and 25% suits/other. So it's a fun audience rather than being
dominated by management.
I would appreciate some help in understanding exactly what's required to
get a booth together as well, since I've never done this.
Thanks,
Donnie
