OSGeo stand at FOSDEM 2014
FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer Meeting) is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide open source software developers and communities a place to meet to.
This year, OSGeo will participate with a stand. The stand aims to be the meeting point for the OSGeo members of German, Belgian, Dutch and French chapters, as well as open source geospatial enthusiasts.
Date and location
1-2 February, ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth.
Organisation of the stand
OSGeo has been assigned a stand in the K building: https://fosdem.org/2014/stands/ N. 18, between OSM and GSoC, a very nice placement.
The stand offered by FOSDEM consists of:
- one 180x80cm table, positioned in one of the buildings with developer rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. In some cases, a second table may be possible, if you have a good reason to need two.
- two chairs per table
- one power socket type C/E (if you require adapters or additional sockets, please bring them yourself)
- fast uplink shared wireless Internet access
The stand should be occupied by at least two people for the duration of the conference.
Source:FOSDEM Call for participation
The organiser of OSGeo participation is Anne Ghisla, with the help of local OSGeo members.
Material
The stand should provide English versions of the marketing material, and German/Dutch/French/.. where available. Please add a line in the table for each item type you wish to bring.
(Anne) Given the high proportion of smartphone users, it makes sense to print few QR codes that link to OSGeo, local chapter homepages, and so on. I take care of it. Please add below more links that you think should be available as QR codes.
- OSGeo homepage + logo http://osgeo.org
- FOSS4G homepage + logo http://foss4g.org/
- Local Chapters http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapters
- FOSSGIS + logo http://www.fossgis.de/
