This page is incomplete as we build some organization around this event. There will probably not be major funding for event attendance, but those details are TBA.

Agenda
Booth
Fedora is to have a table where we can greet attendees and provide information, technical assistance, and anything else appropriate. Paul is responsible for the booth staffing, since he is accountable to Red Hat for our overall presence at this customer-focused event.
Time at the booth has been organized into approximately 2.5-hour blocks to make coverage flexible. Once the schedule is locked, it's important that you make sure your time is covered. If your schedule changes, please ensure you have a substitute!

Live USB keys
Paul is arranging this with the Summit organizers at Red Hat. The goal is to provide each Summit attendee with a 2 GB USB key with Fedora 11 (plus updates) installed. Red Hat might include other materials the Summit organizers want to distribute in a folder outside the Live image.
Other freebies
- Live CDs
- We may want to also provide Fedora 11 Live media at the event in the form of CDs. The Summit attendance is usually quite high, around 1400 people in 2008.
- Other inexpensive schwag
- Other paraphernalia would be a good idea, especially stickers, tattoos, case badges, and so on. (Other low-drag ideas? --stickster 17:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
Stand-up banners
The booth should have the new stand-up banners installed if possible. (Do these already exist, and can they be shipped to/from the event? --stickster 17:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
