Volunteers wanted: Linuxworld Expo booth
Dear Apache community,
The Apache Software Foundation has been offered a booth in the .org
Pavilion at the upcoming LinuxWorld Conference & Expo. We're looking
for volunteers to staff this booth during the three days of the Expo:
Tuesday August 03, 2004 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Wednesday August 04, 2004 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Thursday August 05, 2004 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
So, if you are attending LinuxWorld, are in town that week or live in
the San Francisco Bay Area, please sign up by sending me e-mail with
your name, the Apache project(s) you are involved in and your preferred
two hour time slot (if any). I will probably (haven't completely
thought this through yet) assign time slots on a first come, first
served basis, so pick 10-12, 12-2, 2-4 or (on Tuesday or Wednesday) the
popular single hour slot at the end of the day.
I'm hoping for response from all the Apache projects and subprojects,
so we'll have a large range of people with different interests around
that conference attendees can come and talk to. So, if you in any way
can, please sign up.
* You'll be helping the Apache Community, which is a Good Karma thing
* You'll meet some of those people that you only hear from on mailing
lists
* You'll meet fellow coders and patchers
* You WILL meet users who are using your software in ways that you never
imagined
* You can help educate the LinuxWorld crowd about how the Apache
Software
Foundation and its projects work
* We'll probably end each day in the bar
Please sign up by this Friday, June 4. On Friday, we'll make a decision
based on volunteer response whether we accept the booth or not.
If you haven't already, you can register for a free-as-in-beer expo
pass (or the not-so-free conference packages) at
<http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/register>.
I'm hoping for massive response.
Thanks,
Sander

FWIW, I'll be speaking at the one in Frankfurt/Germany (Oct 04) and
would be available for some booth action (provided that we can arrange
something with IDG and some others join in...).
Cheers,
Erik

Thanks for your offer, but we declined IDG's offer of the booth
space... I didn't get enough volunteers at the time to give me the
confidence that we could keep a booth staffed throughout the event.
Please see <57...@temme.net> and
preceding messages on this list.
As I said in that message, let's see if we can get something going for
the Boston show in January. We have since learned that the board has
established a PR committee: maybe they can catalyse some participation.

I'm planning to go to the Boston one, so I'll keep that in mind. :-)

Well, hold those thoughts for the Boston LinuxWorld they're putting on
in January. Perhaps you're in a better location for that. Or, I'm sure
there will be other trade shows that the ASF might be represented.
Unfortunately, I have let IDG know that the ASF is not interested in a
booth at the show. Given the lack of response, I don't feel that we can
adequately staff a booth for the duration of the show. I'm sure we'll
be missed (: but if we can't put up an adequate presence, we shouldn't
do it at all.
No hard feelings: I have no prerogative over anyone's copious spare
time, and while I'm certainly prepared to spend some cycles on a trade
show in my locality, I wasn't prepared to spend the full three days on
it either. (:
Let's hope we get the critical mass next time.
S.

I'd love to be there, and I would, without a doubt, like to hang out at
the ASF booth. However, alas, I can't make it unless someone at IDG
sends me a ticket. I missed the CFP, and I am rather far away. :-(

Thanks Aaron!
Otherwise... thunderous silence.
Is no one going to LinuxWorld? Has it become that lame? Is no one
living in the Bay Area anymore?
Aaron and I can not staff a booth between the two of us for three days.
I need more people. Do we have any traction for this?
HELP!
I need to get something to the people at IDG by the end of today
(Friday). I appreciate that this is short notice, and not everyone can
make plans this far in advance, in this short a time frame. However, I
would like to see some discussion and a show of support. Otherwise, I
can't enter this obligation.
Thanks,
Sander

Sander, thanks for organizing this. I think this will give the ASF
some great visibility.
(For the record, I've told Sander that I'm available for 10-2 on
Wed/Thu (and Friday too I guess), and that I can probably join
in on other slots that aren't filled by the time of the expo.)
How about we round up some graphic artists to help us make
some posters? I'm thinking we should come up with a list of
important issues and then incorporate them into the booth
materials (like posters, stickers, pamphlets, whatever) to help
us solidify our image. Here's a start:
0) What does the ASF do?
1) Solidify that we are a Non-Profit Corporation, not just a loose
conglomerate of nerds [sitting around in their boxers drinking gin]*.
2) Evangelize the Apache Software License (BSD-style vs. others)
3) How important is community-based open source software development
to the ASF?
4) How can people contribute? {time, money}
5) How can companies contribute? {people, money, hardware, services}
...
