Re: ApacheCon Poster Session?

2015-01-13 Thread Claude Warren
Seems to me that the standard disclaimer for the presentation would be
appropriate for the posters.  I would suggest adding poster as a submission
type and collect the same basic info to make an acceptance determination.

 Thanks for stepping up folks.

 I might not like them but I am outnumbered - I like to be proven wrong its
 educational :-)

 Please make sure these posters font become advertising for companies. That
 will damage sponsorship relations. The easiest route is to say no company
 logo the slightly more complex route would be to require PMC approval of
 posters.

 You will need to coordinate with Angela at the Linux Foundation to ensure
 she is comfortable with your proposal. When you have it outlined Rich or I
 can introduce you.

 Just been at American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Fran. Around
 26,000 people there. Also literally thousands of posters.
 ApacheCon, for me anyways, has always been a conference in the corridors. I
 feel that having posters would only add to this atmosphere and I feel it is
 a fantastic idea (sorry Ross :)).
 I feel that this is especially suited to the Science and Research track
 where people could even reuse posters they have used elsewhere to further
 promote their research.
 Claude, I am willing to work with you to organize this.


 
  It might be a good idea to have these in the hackathon space. Where folks
  from the involved projects are present they could locate themselves near
  the posters.
 

 Great idea Ross.


 
  Anyway, it will only happen if someone steps up to organize it.
 
 
 Claude and Lewis. We are on it. I think we should make it a casual affair
 though and as Ross has stated near to the hackathon rooms.
 Thanks
 Lewis

Subject: ApacheCon Poster Session?

Has any thought been given to adding poster sessions at ApacheCon?

I think it would be easy to give maximum dimensions and have people simply ship 
posters if they can not attend, or if they just want to do a poster
only.ApacheCon staff would affix the poster to the stands and take them
down after.

In my opinion return of posters should not be offered.

I would be interested in sending a poster if it were available.

Claude
