Hi,
So FOSS.IN/2007 is just round the corner.
I am not sure if all the stalls have been allocated yet but
there is no harm in trying. But more importantly these questions need
to be addressed -
#1 Do you want a KDE Stall at FOSS.IN/2007?
#2 Who all are willing to volunteer for the KDE stall?
#3 What all do you want to see at the KDE stall?
Please note a few things : We are not allowed to sell
merchandise at this stall. So lets not discuss things like - we can
sell such and such. We are however allowed to give away merchandise.
Also people who would like to volunteer -
- its a fun job yes but be aware, you will miss the cool
talks because you have to be man the stall.
- 2-3 people at a time at the stall are more than enough.
Nobody is expected to give more than 3 hours per day each day ( this
is an estimate assuming that we will get atleast 9-10 volunteers
during the main conference ). So basically, 3 shifts of 3 hours each.
So basically a commitment for 3 hours or more per day during the Main
Conference.
- Ofcourse, if there is one all important talk you *have* to
attend, I am guessing you can mutually decide among the volunteers
take turns.
- Assuming that there will be KDE talks during the Main
Conference - of course all of us will go to attend that talk ( unless
you are not interested in that talk and want to miss it, why would you
want to do that? ; )
- Don't forget - volunteer might have to come in early - say
about 30 minutes to arrange stuff and what not and probably leave
last.
What we can do at the stall -
- Show case KDE - esp freshly baked KDE 4 from SVN
- Explain potential/curious developers/contributors/students
how to get involved, where to start, where to look for help.
- Hand out flyers, KDE Distros
- Showcase KDE based distros
- Suggestions?
What will you get if you volunteer ?
- Lots of good wishes
- Oh well you want more right .... , a KDE/KDE-India T-shirt.
( Since t-shirts[*] will be limited you will get preference :)
- Lots of good wishes and gratitude.
- Maybe some surprise - may be not.
In case you have not checked recently - the updated KDE Project
Day schedule is here [1]. It of course is not carved in stone. Will
let everybody know when the speaker lists are out. Thanks for
understanding.
Please add to this thread any points that I might have missed.
I would be more than happy if we can have a KDE Stall, but if
the interest is low on this on or if I don't get enough volunteers,
the idea might have to be scrapped.
[*] Yes, there will be t-shirts this time. A new set of t-shirts
will be made. More about this one later, there is quite a bit to talk
about and talk happily about it. But it deserves its own thread :)
