Stand

We don't know what the stand will actually look like. Brian was playing with various ideas for the .Org village based on the proviso that sight-lines have to be maintained across the area and everyone has to look equal <wink>.

That said, we do know where the .Org village and where Debian will be within it:

The .ORG Village has moved (was going to be at the Back Right). Now at the Back-Left, on the Main Floor, next to the goods door you come through for setting up. Redmond are going to be right next to the Village!BR (The wifi signal should be even stronger... )

Brian says. "There should be some form of wireless internet in the .Org Village. (possibly a vsat link) trying to finalise details on the week of September 15th"

The .ORG stand is composed of three sections:

  4m * 7m  (4 sides)
   2m * 5m  (2 sides)

The .ORG extension (".ORG3") wasn't on offer to Debian as Debian would just end up taking over 100% of it. There are about 20people/groups that need fitting in, I missed some on the phone to Brian, but I think they include:

  Community Wireless, Dasher, Debian, Dyne:bolic (Distro?), KDE,
  LPI, Lonix/GLLUG, M-Station, Mailscanner, Mambo, OpenOffice,
  Rosegarden, Scribus, UKFSN, UKUUG, OpenBSD, AFFS, CDR, Others.

Out of the areas on offer, the Bottom-Left corner seemed the best for Debian--which will be the biggest stand on in it. This gives Debian two corridors to fill with people--one of which is the side wall and so there isn't going to be a problem with blocking other [paying] stands.BR

  • Find out Layout/Tables-required from Brian Teeman

    • Brian says "Approx 5m long counter"
    • Brian says "You have plenty of space - dont worry about that."
    • Brian says "Counters wil be provided but Steve's shelves may be of use."

Activities

Things we have done at our stand in previous years, to help plan what stuff would be useful to bring:

  • Chat to the punters about Free software and why Debian rocks in a non-biased way.
  • Sell stuff, then give them free-beer (see: stuff to buy first)

  • Show off lots of weird (and not so weird) hardware running Debian.
  • Boast about being the biggest GNU/Linux distro to show up(!)

Also see the:

TODO

Things _you_ need TODO

Things "somebody" needs TODO

Need to arrange with John Winters (maybe also UKLinux t/a DebianShop?) to get:

  • Metric bucket-load of Binary i386 single CD sets
  • Stack of Knoppix (or Morphix?) i386 CD's
  • Smaller stack of i386 DVD's
  • Debian T-Shirts (the Phil Hands Classick, in off-white cotton ?)

  • Buy free-beer, to give away if they buy a CD (also non-alcholic ones too)

  • Get 200 CDR blanks for other Archs + Sources
  • Little "download the source here" stickers/labels for the CD's

Possibilites:

  • Flyers bragging about Debian
  • Matching Black Debian polo-shirts for everyone (see: [http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/31465.html El Reg slagging a la Debian])

  • Canvas Banner that can be rolled up and re-used for other shows (Maggie said they'd sponsor one?)

Things _me_ (Paul Sladen) needs TODO

  • Pickup the smaller signs from UKLinux in Stockport and Debianise them

Miscellaneous Questions

  • How to get exhibitors' passen?

    • Brian says "Exhibitor passes should be being sent directly to me. If you need one please email me."
  • Whose mobile to ring when we get stuck?

    • Brian Teeman 07989-584-668
    • Steve McIntyre 07775-786-572

  • Car-passes and parking arrangements? (Getting in is impossible otherwise)

    • Brian says "Car park passes for setup only should be being sent directly to me. If you need one please email me."
    • Parking at rear of Olympia costs 20GBP last year and closed at 11pm on Tuesday and Thursday, but 7pm ish on the Wednesday
    • Brian says "You can book advance car parking tickets for during the show with ECO Car PArks on 0800 056 8444"

Accommodation

It's London, it's all expensive. Here's a vox-pop:
