Thanks to Mark Atwood for fielding the offer for an OpenStack presence at the MySQL conference in the Santa Clara Convention Center.  I spoke to the .org pavilion organizer today.  The offer is no charge and includes a 6' table, chairs, sign and 1 electrical outlet (no Internet).  We can do this with enough volunteers.  I'll support it by drawing up a booth volunteer schedule and shipping the following:

 

- tablecloth

- hanging banner

- 6' popup quickscreen summarizing the software

- collateral

- stickers to giveaway

- pens to giveaway

- videos and ppt presentations in a Dropbox for advance download to laptops (no monitor rental; and no Internet for onsite download)

 

Mark has offered to setup and Colin McNamara has volunteered for Wednesday, I assume for the daytime hours.   We need a bunch of volunteers to make this work.  The expo hours are

 

Monday, 4/22, 1:00-4:15 setup (Mark Atwood)

Monday, 4/22 4:30-6:30 opening reception

Tuesday, 4/23 10:20-5:20

Wednesday 4/24: 10:20-4:50 (Colin McNamara) and 6-9pm reception

Thursday, 4/25: 10:45-1:20

Thursday, 4/25 1:20-3:45 teardown, packing, return shipping. 

 

If possible to commit by Thursday, we can get in the conference guide.  Thanks everyone for making it happen!
