Due to medical reasons, I am unable to attend OSCON and "woman the booth"; therefore, I am in need of someone that can replace me as the booth coordinator. Crucial dates: Exhibitor Move-in: Monday, July 20th, from 8:00 - 5:00; Tuesday, the 21st, from 8:00 - Noon Expo Hall Hours: Tuesday, the 21st, from 5:00 - 6:00 for the opening reception; Wednesday, the 22nd, from 10:00 am - 4:30 and the booth crawl is from 5:40 - 7:00. Exhibitor Move-out: Thursday, the 23rd, from 5:00 - 9:00pm; Friday, the 24th, from 8:00 - Noon Job responsibility: Set up and tear down the booth (an hour (tops) of work, if that, on both ends) Keep the table supplied with the giveaways (all boxes will be in the booth, so all you have to do is open them and set the items on the counter! And this year I have a new hanging banner to replace the honking 8'x8' monster wall banner that took two people to assemble!!) Coordinate with the others that have volunteered their time to assist with booth duty so that someone is at the booth at all timesMingle, network, and have fun!!!Eat, drink, and be merry! What's in it for you, you might ask?!: The pleasure of replacing me! ;) LOLIf you agree to be the coordinator and fulfill the roles as described above, The ASF will cover your travel and expenses, which also includes the hotel and expo hall registration, which allows you to attend all the evening events and lunches.Please get back to me with your interest ASAP so that I can make the necessary arrangements. Local folks strongly preferred (naturally) due to the lateness of this notice, and this offer does not apply to International folks (sorry - you all know that I love you, but we can't justify that expense!). Your help is greatly appreciated. I was just informed yesterday that I have to go in for surgery on the 22nd, hence the very late notice. I already have several folks lined up for booth duty; however, they are attending OSCON with their day job, and so their main responsiblities are with their companies. Please get back to me ASAP if you are able to help!! Thank you so much! ~M
