It might be that you do not have any idea about the AOO presence, but it seems I am in a more lucky position, because I know we will have a presence, either the stehmanns will do their normal elegant job, or I will personally represent AOO at the booth. > > For reference: last year the call was mid-September with a deadline of > mid-November and the conference was in late January like this year. > The dates I have been told are saturday 30 january 2016 to sunday 31 january 2016. I hereby volunteer to be the pointman at FOSDEM (if somebody else wants to do I am pleased to hand it over). So lets start discuss what we want: - AOO traditionally has a double table on the first floor, I would would like (as ASF and AOO) to get 4 tables in the ground floor. - if we have enough projects, we can try and make a Apache dev.room (AOO might prefer to be in open editors room). Is it ok if I write to all PMCS asking for interest ? - The table need to be manned throughout both days, I can supply materials (I will coordinate with melissa and sally), but we need 2-3 persons extra, volunteers ? - swag will be supplied from the european logistic center (me :-) ). Now the more soft parts: - Which message to do we want to bring across ? just that we exist or more ? - Is the booth a place for people to join Apache, or just a "we exist, go and look us up" ? - Do the projects present at FOSDEM, want to help on the booth, and maybe have some "why join us" folders ? Looking forward to hear what you think. Please if somebody feel I bully by taking lead, please tell me so and I will step down. rgds jan i. > > Regards > , > Andrea. >
