For those who have already responded to this thread, I didn't realize I
wouldn't be cc'd if I'm not subscribed. I'm subscribed now, so I'll see
the responses.
Here's an update:
So far this year for North America, there are confirmed *BSD booths for:
Linuxworld Boston April 3 -6
OSCON, Portland July 24 - 28
Linuxworld San Fran August 14 - 17
All projects are welcome to share the booth and we like to see
representatives from each project. We did that for last year's OSCON, had
a great time and impressed attendees (there are still nasty rumours out
there that the BSD projects are fragmented and don't work with each other).
I try to generate press for each event as well as do writeups afterwards
at http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/unix/bsd. If a project already has their own
booth lined up for an event, that is great, and if you let me know about
it, I will generate press about any BSD-related booth on any continent.
For each event, the conference organizers need the list of names of those
who will help man the booth. Those who are interested in Linuxworld
Boston, email me with the day(s) you are interested in. You don't have to
be available each day, but I need to know your name at least 2 weeks in
advance of the event. I will do similar calls as the other events draw
near.
It is great for people to show up with brochures and CDs for your project.
Last year, the NetBSD people brought in some cool hardware which made some
great demonstrations (demonstrations are always a crowd drawer). Any swag
for giveaways is also appreciated.
