As your VisCom Chair, I'd like to formally ask all the VisCom members to
please contact Arnulf immediately if they are attending -- or are
considering attending -- the FOSS4G or EuroOSCON events.
(I regret that I'm not able to attend this year. I will be cheering you
all on, however, and following things via IRC.)
As she rightly points out below, our participation at events like this
is very important, and of course FOSS4G is perhaps our premier event of
the season. We're a volunteer-based organization, so it's up to "us" to
make these things happen.
Plus, you do get one of the Famous and Much-Coveted Black Shirts.
Thanks,
-mpg

Subject: [VisCom] Staff plan for OSGeo booth at FOSS4G (third serve)
Importance: High
Hello again,
Jody suggested to use our great new Contacts homepage to poke project
chairs more directly. MapGuide and Mapbender currently are the only
projects with full representation at the OSGeo booth, MapServer and
GeoTools have some representation (wouldn't this be a shame to the other
projects...).
Here we go again:
Hello PSCs and corresponding chairs,
thanks for the many feedback on appearance at the booth.
(this was blatant irony)
> Please have a
look at the staff plan listing the projects who have representatives
for
their corresponding projects. Please check whether you find your name
there and if not add it:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_at_FOSS4G2006#Staff_Plan
Just to make sure. We want the booth to be a thriving place of
communication and interaction. This is why we got this whole Foundation
thingy done in the first place, didn't we? This staff plan is not
designed by others for others, its you - OSGeo. Remember?
We have two conference passes to give away as incentive to volunteers.
...and currently work on more. But even those two are still there!
Before posting this information to discuss I wanted to give the
project
chairs a chance to give them to someone. Needs to be worked out this
week.
Hi VisCom,
please also add yourself to the list, we should be able to have at
least
two responsible people (large X) [1] at the booth at any time. More is
more
better obviously.
Many thanks,
[1] (large X) does not refer to shirt sizes but to the legend of the
booth staff plan in the Wiki. Yes, you will have to open this URL to
find out what this means:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_at_FOSS4G2006#Staff_Plan
While I am at it: I checked the docs in VisCom and there have not been
any changes to the flyers. If you need help, please ask. If you feel the
flyers are fine, fine.
Booth staff is entitled to get one of those highly desirable OSGeo
t-shirt in any size that you request until Friday 13:47 GMT.
The same applies to the EuroOSCON where participation until now is also
below sensor threshold.

Chairs,

Best Regards,
PS:

priority message tag...
