Booth Logistics

1. What are the plans for the booth? 1. detailed list of EVERYTHING we need to have there so we don't have to go out and buy stuff the day of the event and setup late. 1. advanced coordination of what I can bring locally (each year I've been involved it has been a little bit of a last might fire drill... I don't like fire drills and avoid them wherever possible :-) 1. how big is the booth and how many people can it hold? Last year three was about all we had room for. 1. What are we handing out?

JohnPoelstra -- I have a small stash of t-shirts, usb keys, pens, and stickers, but would prefer to give this stuff out on a selective basis to people interested in or fans of Fedora vs. every random person doing "convention trick or treat".

1. Are we handing out install media? 1. If so who is coordinating it and are they sending it to me? 1. What type of install media? 1. How much? 1. Live USB key generation? 1. Print and hang posters 1. Who has the booth banner and will someone be sending it to me? 1. What are we planning to do for the BOF? 1. What are the facilities for the BOF? 1. When is the BOF? 1. Is it on the O'reilly schedule? If "NO"--why not? 1. If no advertising being done for us, how will it be done? 1. What are our target dates to have stuff done by?

Travel

Flight: PDX is your airport
Hotel: Any hotel near the convention center is fine, everything is walking distance. Alternatively, you can stay by the Rose Garden (Sports Arena) which is near by, also walking distance. Hotels there tend to be cheaper.
Light Rail: You don't need a car to get from the airport to the convention center (and most likely the surrounding hotels). Check out the schedule for the MAX here: http://www.trimet.org/ It is super cheap at $2.05 or less.
