Introduction

How to organize a BOF
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in:
- BoF rooms
- BoF lounge
- Taken off-site for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of meetups is done informally using this wiki, twitter, and on site BoF board.
Capacities
The BoF sessions rooms are available through regular session times.
- There Are two rooms setup theater style (without AV) that are available.
- There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups.
We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.
