I'll explain better: physical objects are not available, meaning that either they haven't been printed yet or they are in Europe and it's unpractical to deliver them to OSCON in the US. This is why I focus on the "designs", since stuff would have to be reprinted anyway. We have designs available for: - A4 leaflets, in color (suitable b/w too) https://flic.kr/p/dSDcDC - A roll-up like this one, roughly 80x200cm: https://flic.kr/p/dSDcB5 So for these two items the main issue is whether someone is attending FOSDEM and can print them. Pins with the OpenOffice logo used to be a quite successful giveaway that we could look into redesigning (we don't have the original files, but they had the old logo) and reprinting. Again, I don't know whether it makes sense to print stuff in Europe and ship it to the US... But Kay feel free to bring this to the OpenOffice dev list and we can find some ideas there, provided that someone is actually going to attend OSCON or the Expo Hall! Regards, Andrea.

RE: Apache@ OSCON question
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!!

Re: Apache@ OSCON question
Hi Kay, What kind of project giveaways are you thinking of? Let me know - I'll be more than happy to accommodate this if I can. Please be sure to contact brand management if approval is needed!!! As Ross mentioned, I'm the primary booth staffer, but there are always a handful of volunteers that help at the booth (staffing during breaks/lunch and help with the setup/teardown). Shane will be my sidekick at the booth this year. If you or others from your project will be attending OSCON and would like to be present at the booth at a specific time to talk to the attendees, just let me know. We could always send out a broadcast via social media about "stop by the ASF's booth at XXX to speak with the reps from Project XXX". That goes for the other projects as well!! It's always great to have someone from the community at the booth to answer technical questions!! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Re: Apache@ OSCON question
We have foundation giveaways but generally not specific projects (the table isn't big enough;-) Usually we just have Melissa staff it and answer general questions about the ASF. Wherever possible she connects people asking about specific projects to attendees at the conference. In theory we could be more organized giving specific projects a time slot for example.
