FOSDEM 2018 - Booth

[elioqoshi]

Are we going to have a booth at FOSDEM #64 ? I'd be happy to help, together with 2 colleagues of mine ( @rskikuli @giannisk ) from http://ura.design to talk about Open Source Design and ways to work

What do you think?

[elioqoshi]

@marianaballa will be instead of @silvaarapi eventually (we need to check her time commitment as she is with the Fedora project as well).

@AnXh3L0 will be able to help out 1-2 hours every day as well.

We need a bit more time to check out shifts as well.

@jancborchardt Just moved you to Sunday 14:00 to 16:00. Thanks!

@elioqoshi I've removed @silvaarapi and added @marianaballa. All three of you feel free to access the Doodle poll at any time and change your shifts as needed! :)

I can take the slot of Saturday, February 3 14:00 - 16:00 PM. If other people have signed up for this already, let me know. My schedule is pretty flexible!

Thanks @tessgadwa

I've changed the Doodle poll to put you in that slot.

[elioqoshi]

@rskikuli has his talk at 2:30pm on Sunday so that collides with his slot currently.

Coordinating with the Ura team and getting back here with more final slots.

Sounds good. Thanks @elioqoshi

Hi all,

Posting here the organisers instructions so that everybody knows how the stands run.

If someone has an extension cable with European 2-pin plugs, please bring it with you. @ei8fdb and I will be bringing a 3-pin UK one.

Location

Stands will be located in three buildings on the ULB campus: AW, H and K. You can find the location of your stand on the FOSDEM site: https://fosdem.org/2018/stands/

Timing

Build-up starts from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start arriving around 10:00, and you can expect it to be properly busy by noon. The Saturday program ends at 19:00; you're expected to be out of the building at that time.

It is possible to start on your stand on Friday afternoon. However, there is no exact time when the tables will be ready - so if you arrive early, you will have be asked to help us set up those tables.

For the night between Saturday and Sunday, there are overnight storage rooms in the H and K buildings. You can also leave stuff at your stand overnight; the buildings will be closed overnight, but we cannot guard the hallways on Sunday morning. We also cannot provide any insurance or take responsibility in case of damage or theft. We do have security staff on campus at all times.

Sunday starts around 9:00-10:00 and the teardown starts at 17:00. All stand holders are expected to help clean up the area around their stand, and the tables and table cloths should be returned to the collection point by the stand holders. Your stand area should be cleared and cleaned up and the tables returned to the collection point by 17:30.

Various

The tables provided are 180x80cm wide. We also provide table cloths, but you are more than welcome to provide any on your own, especially if you have something like a banner for your project. There will be two chairs provided per table. You may not tape posters to the walls or windows near the stands.

We will provide you with a power socket. If you require more than one, please bring extension cables. Note that Belgium uses type E sockets: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/ If you need any adapters, make sure to bring them along.

High-speed Internet uplink will be provided by means of WiFi everywhere. If you have a device that requires a wired ethernet connection, bring a bridge device with you.

Keep in mind that our Code of Conduct applies to stand organisers as well. Read it at https://fosdem.org/2018/practical/conduct/

Stickers

It's probably worth mentioning again that stickers have been a particular headache for FOSDEM in the past.

Please do your best to stop people putting them on the windows, walls, furniture, the floor, toilet doors etc. as they will all have to be carefully removed by us when we discover them and FOSDEM has to pay for redecoration if there is any damage.

Similarly, please don't attach anything at all to walls or the ceiling(!) etc. If your stand has windows behind it and you have the right quality of masking tape that leaves no mark after removal (maybe test it on your own windows at home for a couple of days!), staff (wearing yellow) might say it's OK to put up posters.
