Updates:
-
I’ve tapped two local area part-time volunteers to supplement Thea & I’s full-time booth shifts for OSCON week; the 2 staff passes will go to them. Any additional volunteers can use the free Expo Hall Plus passes (see other email thread).
-
I forwarded how-to-order-utility-hookup info to Jody. This will include power outlets & internet (if desired).
-
Still outstanding: info needed on available OSGeo materials, swag?, resources I could/should print locally, and anything else I should know about running an OSGeo booth…
I’m continuing to update https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSCON_2017_Booth as I get info.
Cheers all, and happy Monday.

Update: ordering utilities for booth is a complicated process. What I do know: we are past the point of “earlybird” pricing, so you have until May 3 (i.e., no rush) to make this order.
Price list is locked in a password-protected PDF, @Jody if you’re able to take point on this I’ll fwd you what I have so you can take it to the right Powers That Be.

You move fast!
OSGeo does not have any hardware, so whoever is manning the booth will probably want their own laptop with demos they are comfortable with.

Thanks Jody. I’ve submitted that description and logo to be included on the website. Have also submitted a request for pricing & order details for the electric hookup. When you say “laptop” I’m guessing you mean Thea & I should use our own, or is there OSGeo hardware to be shipped?

cc’d: Thea Aldrich of LocationTech + Eclipse, co-organizing this booth effort with me
Greetings, marketing@lists:
OSCON prep is underway and I have some action items/info needs based on emails received from OSCON’s sponsor liaison. In no particular order:
We have one Bronze pass and two Exhibitor passes: we need to assign/register these by April 11.
ACTION: what are we doing with these?
PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Thea already has a pass via Eclipse; I’ll take the Bronze pass & we’ll use the other two for part-time volunteers. I bring this to the list for discussion just in case anyone disagrees (since the passes belong to OSGeo)Scheduled “booth time” is as follows:
May 9: TBD? - setup time
May 10: 10:00AM - 5:45PM / 5:45PM - 7:00PM (Booth Crawl)
May 11: 10:00AM - 4:30PM
NO ACTION NEEDED: Thea & I will be there all week, we are working on recruiting additional part-time booth volunteers from the local community nowOur booth includes:
One, draped 4’ counter-height table in the OSCON Expo Hall
(2) Chairs
(1) Easel-back ID sign printed with organization name.
ACTION: if we want electrical power or internet access, we need to pay for this. There will be free wifi but it’s not guaranteed to be reliable. I don’t have cost info yet but can look into it if there’s need/budgetOSGeo’s name, logo, description, link, etc will be posted on the website & in the mobile app.
ACTION: need a high-resolution logo and 100-word max description to use on OSCON.comGeneral ACTION: need help with materials (stickers? banners? fliers? etc) for this booth. I’ve no idea what the status quo is here so any information/assistance would be grand.
I’m working on updating https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=OSCON_2017_Booth today with all the information I have thus far. If you have questions please ask away, I may have the answer buried in an email somewhere.
Cheers, all!
