Re: ASF Booth for OpenExpo in Madrid
I never heard about this event but I would pretty much like to help. I still have to confirm availability for that day at work, but as soon as I have the OK I'll ping back. I hope I'll be able to confirm my attendance in a day or two. I.

Re: ASF Booth for OpenExpo in Madrid
You may wish to reach out personally to Santiago Gala (Cc'ed here) who is likely not on this list. I have no idea what his availability is, but perhaps he may either be available, or know someone who will be.

ASF Booth for OpenExpo in Madrid
Hi Everyone We have been offered a free booth at the OpenExpo in Spain and have accepted it. http://www.openexpo.es/en/ The expo will be in Madrid on on 1st June and is completely free to attend but *only if you register by the end of April* (so if you want to go free then please register soon!) http://www.openexpo.es/en/oe2017/register/ ASF Booth --- We will be talking to people about the ASF and also giving away stickers and some ASF swag. At the moment I'm planning to be there and I already have one volunteer - Jan Iverson who has offered to help out. We are also looking for anyone else that is also interested in helping us. It would be really good to have some Spanish speakers from our Apache communites at this event :-) Also if you would like to spend time on the ASF booth promoting your project then please let me know. Project Stickers -- If you are going to be at the OpenExpo and do not have any project stickers to give away then we may, budget permitting be able to help you get some printed. Please contact me with your requirements. This is a new conference for us so we will be looking to see if it is a good fit. I'm looking forward to being there so please feel free to drop by the ASF booth for a chat or just to say Hi Thanks Thanks - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
