FOSS4G2007 OSGeo Booth

Scratchpad for ideas for OSGeo Booth at FOSS4G

Venue Info

• OSGeo will be in the main exhibition hall, in a double sized booth that faces the rear of the hall (where some of the food/beverages will be).
• The space immediately in front is emtpy and is the same size as the double booth. It will be clearer once I get a diagram together, but it could be used for a lounge or stands, etc. as well.
• We have booth spaces 16, 17, 18, 19 - with the general idea that 17/18 are not normal booths but mostly open space covering a 16x20 foot area

Related Promotion

• We can also have an ad in the FOSS4G program

Random Ideas

• Local chapter space ?
• emphasize joining committees, etc. ?
• show many demos ?
• develop a mini-park in same spirit as OSGeo open source park at InterGeo ?
• help promote non-software projects/ideas, ie. host local data and interop demo (discuss with conf. committee) ?
• split booth between basic organisational info and software demos ?
