* Tyler is looking into how much space we might be able to work with at the event

* 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).
−
* Paul Ramsey says "a lot". The "Prefunction" area in front of the registration desk is slated to hold the OSGeo booth. We are thinking probably backing the opposite side of the area from the reg. desk leaving an open area in between. So the OSGeo booth could easily be 30' by 20'. We can do up a more precise floor plan later. http://victoriaconference.com/floorplans_levelone_prefunction.php
+
* 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.

* See [http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/0/0d/Foss4g_booth.png room layout here].

* There will be 4-6 computer workstations set up as a public Internet Cafe.  You can help by setting this up before the hall opens, see volunteer schedule below.
