It would be great to have an OpenOffice rep there with Melissa and Shane. Basically, Apache will be having a table at the upcoming OSCON in Portland. Details on OSCON can be found at: http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014 When I discovered this a day or so ago via the Board report that was sent on June 18, I sent a message to d...@community.apache.org asking about what purpose the table served and if projects could/should contribute in some way. So, the Apache reps will be at the table the days the expo is open -- July 21-23. Initially, I was under the impression we had some "treats" to contribute but perhaps we don't currently. OK, so the next question. What was on these popular "pins" that have been used n the past? Just the gull logo or ??? It looks like we could get some 1" circle pins very inexpensively if this is the case. I would be happy to cover the cost of these and have them shipped to ASF headquarters in time for transport to OSCON. They wouldn't "say" anything with just our current flat logo, but they would be good I think. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrea Pescetti [mailto:pesce...@apache.org] > Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2014 01:49 > To: d...@community.apache.org > Subject: Re: Apache@ OSCON question > > Melissa Warnkin wrote: > > I can make room on the table for pins.
