The Red Hat Summit is a conference where Red Hat converses with its customers. A Fedora presence supports the event by demonstrating the importance of community in the Red Hat ecosystem, but also benefits Fedora because Red Hat's customers are sometimes interested in looking at and contributing to Fedora once they find out about us.

This is a list of highlights of what the Fedora presence at the 2010 Summit should look like.
{{admon/important | Not every item on this list is guaranteed. | Significant planning is still in progress with the organizers, but this list represents what we'd ''like to have'' at the event.}}
{|
| '''Not a FUDCon.'''
: This approach proved unsuccessful at the 2008 Summit and was not repeated in 2009.  The respective audiences are too dissimilar, so one event distracts from the other, to the detriment of people attending both.
| {{check}}
|-
| '''A booth/table.'''
: A visible location at which we can pass out swag, have informal chats with attendees, and have Fedora Project contributors hang out between sessions.  A pair of vertical banners and the vinyl sign will be needed for this table.
| {{check}}
|-
| '''An expanded Fedora room.'''
: A dedicated room for Fedora demonstrations, 1x1 technical advice, hands-on training, or other proceedings.  Having this room gives a little bit more cachet, and allows us more flexibility in planning.  This will not be a full-time lecture room, so as not to interfere with the Summit sessions, but we can definitely hold a few presentation sessions.
| {{check}}
|-
| '''Live USB keys.'''
: 2 GB USB keys for every attendee, with a Fedora 13 image (or as close thereto as we can get).  The key will feature an event-specific wallpaper and a desktop link to the Summit materials online, as in 2009.
| {{check}}
|-
| '''Free booth passes for volunteers.'''
: Expo-only passes for a limited list of Fedora attendees, free of cost, that will allow them access to the expo floor including the Fedora booth, and the Fedora room.  No meals or nightly entertainment will be included; expo-only pass holders would need to purchase a party pass or a full Summit pass for those privileges.  We ''may'' be able to include access to one track of talks at the Summit, likely the open source track. ''Note that we cannot provide free passes for every attending community member,'' because each person entering the venue carries a substantial real cost to Red Hat.  Paul is working with the organizers to arrive at a comfortable number of passes for people who agree to spend some time working at the booth and Fedora room.
| {{check}}
|-
| '''Encourage any interested Boston-area Fedora contributors to attend.'''
: The Summit will be in Boston, so we will potentially have many Fedora contributors attending, including Red Hat employees and volunteers.  Although we cannot invite everyone for free, we should all encourage interested people to attend, because the event is a very good value in general.
|
|-
| '''Build a booth schedule the evening before the event.'''
: We want to ensure coverage at the booth throughout the event, and at least one person at the booth should be a Red Hat employee. Often the people who approach the booth are company customers or partners and we want to ensure they have access to help inside the company as appropriate.

This page contains information about the Fedora Project at the Red Hat Summit 2010. You can compare this to the original vision for the event on its own page.

The Red Hat Summit is a conference where Red Hat converses with its customers. A Fedora presence supports the event by demonstrating the importance of community in the Red Hat ecosystem, but also benefits Fedora because Red Hat's customers are sometimes interested in looking at and contributing to Fedora once they find out about us.

  • Sandro: Will help out whenever I can but I'm there for $DAYJOB and won't be able to say anything about the time at hand in advance. Worked well last year tho, didn't it?
    • Yes, it certainly seemed to. I doubt we'll have a problem having coverage. The schedule is just an aid to ensure we have coverage to answer specific Red Hat customer/partner questions. I suspect we'll have plenty of people willing and able to help out in general. --pfrields 13:33, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Room

What can you add here?
This is where we'll add demonstrations and hands-on sessions that can use the Fedora room. Remember that every attendee will get a Fedora 13 Live USB stick, and potentially that could be used by participants.
