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. There's only one floor in use this year.

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 two sections:

  12m * 7m  (4 sides)
   2m * 5m  (2 sides)

The .ORG extension (".ORG2") 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,
  LFS, 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
