Historically, Expo Hall passes are free. OSCON charges a $25 fee that should be pre-registered for. My sense of this is that it is simply meant to discourage walk-ins that are not in the target audience of the conference and the expo sponsors. The info is in the last entry at <https://en.oreilly.com/oscon2014/public/register>.
This, by the way, is enough to get to the rooms where there are meetings, such as the ASF Board, other birds-of-feather activities that are peripheral to the conference. There are usually some meeting rooms available at the Oregon Convention Center, but they may all be booked by now. The time I visited OSCON looking to meet-up with Apache folk a couple of years ago, I don't recall having to do anything special at registration. I certainly didn't register for the conference itself. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Melissa Warnkin [mailto:missywarn...@yahoo.com.INVALID] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 12:40 To: dev@community.apache.org Subject: Re: Apache@ OSCON question Hi Kay, Hi Andrea!! You are correct - OSCON officially kicks off in one month!! WooHoo!! I can make room on the table for pins. When you refer to leaflet and roll-up designs, what is that and how much real estate would they take up? I cannot confirm that I can accommodate those items without first knowing how much room they would take. I know you can understand and appreciate that. At this time, I cannot confirm whether or not I will be able to provide complimentary expo hall passes; however, I do have an email out to my contact, but he has not responded as of yet. There is a discount code for 20% off by entering this code at registration: IHEARTASF. Please let me know about the leaflet and roll-ups so I can determine if I can accommodate those items. Thank you so much, ~M ________________________________ From: Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com> To: dev@community.apache.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 2:38 PM Subject: Re: Apache@ OSCON question On 06/20/2014 10:29 AM, Andrea Pescetti wrote: > Kay Schenk wrote: >> OK, I'll ask about this.

So, if we decided to bring anything, it would likely have to be from what we have available now. But... ... I have a question of Melissa. If anyone from OpenOffice attended to help at the booth, would they need to pay an exhibitor registration fee? Given the current state of of the OSCON conf site, I have no way of determining what this amount might be. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." -- attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
