Equipment
What kind of equipment should be available? How large is the booth footprint? Will internet taps be available?
Basic Booth Includes: 8’x10’ exhibit space Pipe and drape, 8’ back and 3’ sides 1 table 2 chairs Wireless internet 2 booth personnel passes
- OSGeo booth will be double-width - so 8x20' with two tables, 4 chairs.
- Volunteers should bring their own laptop if possible. Maybe have a larger desktop monitor there too. Or projector? (or JumboTron...)
- Pop-up Banner: Robert Hollingsworth shipped the banner, it is available behind the black curtain at Registration
- Consider adding 1 "discussion" pedestal table and chairs?
- Monitor rental?
Handouts
What handouts will be available, who/where will they be printed?
- Brochures, sponsorship postcards, business info cards - Tyler/Robert shipping to GITA, will be available at event registration
- Poster showing sponsors! - to be printed
- ...
Presentations
What kinds of live demonstrations or recorded examples can be played at the booth? Where can they be downloaded from or who can run them?
- If there are multiple booth volunteers, therefore multiple laptops, might simplify by having canned demos/videos, manual demos, and associated data living on a server somewhere.
- OSGeo Live - Everyone is getting a DVD or USB in their bag, so either boot from media or run in a Virtual Machine.
Self-Running
Review in case of updates or additions
- OSSIMPlanet video with sound (181MB)
- GRASS historical Video from '87 - William Shatner narrates (60MB)
- Italian OSGeo chapter youtube video Can we get a full res copy of this?
- gvSIG OpenMoko youtube vid. High res copy?
- gvSIG Day's 11 Video (not too techie, but nice)
gvSIG Days '07 Video.
Other Considerations
- Good reading: Running Conference Booths
