Equipment
as travel with equipment is difficult, best scenario is these are provided by U.S.A. local chapters...
Possible needs: banner? laptops/monitors? table? drape? chairs? wired internet?
- Volunteers should bring their own laptop if possible. Maybe have a larger desktop monitor there too. Or projector?
- Banners?
- PDX-OSGeo will provide our popup banner
- Have requested that CUGOS and California Chapters bring their popup banners and other materials as well
Handouts
- can the local committee print materials?
- ...
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
- place visible links to slides or videos here
