Coordination of Shared [L]UG booth at LinuxWorld

Exhibit Hall (open to non-exhibitors these days/hours):
Tuesday August 5, 2008 10 am - 5 pm
Wednesday, August 6, 2008 10 am - 5 pm
Thursday, August 7, 2008 10 am - 4 pm

Coordination of timeslots - we have a 10x10' booth, so we can probably at most reasonably accommodate 4 people there (and that might leave some of them standing). We hope to cover all the exposition days/hours (noted above), with Tuesday and Wednesday being most crucial (probably in that order). At the end of the exposition Thursday it will help to have several folks available to "lug" all the book/magazine publishers give to [L]UGs.

Please put your name in the timeslot(s) in the table below. Also, below the table please also put your name, contact information, and indicate the [L]UG(s) you will be representing or can represent. If you've got varying levels of familiarity and involvement with [L]UGs you can cover for, you can also show, after you list the LUG, a number (from 0 through 1) or percent (0% to 100%) indicating how familiar and involved with the group you are (e.g. 1 or 100% - you're head honcho, created the group, always there, know all there is about it and then some; .75 or 75% - you're rather involved with the group and quite familiar with it; 50% semi-involved or at least involved in parts (e.g. on the list and mostly read/skim it, have been to and occasionally go to some of the meetings/events); 30% uhm, you at least know enough about it to provide some coverage if no one else can).

Also, if your [L]UG isn't already listed on this page, please include that after the list of names, with complete name(s) of the [L]UG, common acronym, and main URL(s).

*Monday, and before 10AM Tuesday, one needs an exhibitor badge to get in. Don't worry about Monday. We need your help on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday, after exhibition close (4PM), one "must" have an exhibitor batch to help with teardown … but for practical purposes, one can typically wiggle around that for about 15 to 30 minutes or a bit more (remove any badges that don't say exhibitor, act like a busy exhibitor, and lacking exhibitor badge, it's a one-way trip out the door - no coming back onto the exhibition floor)

People:

Please put here, your name, your contact information, and [L]UGs you'll be representing or can represent:

  • Michael Paoli: 1-415-344-7609(w)/1-510-883-0772(h) Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu; [L]UGs: BALUG (98%), BUUG (96%), SF-LUG (78%), BAD (75%), Oakland Perl Mongers (70%)
  • Jim Stockford: 1-415-823-4590; [L]UGs: SF-LUG (100%), BALUG (60%), PENlug (30%), BayPIGgies (50%)

[L]UGs:

Coordination/Communication

Please:

  • Use this Wiki page … appropriately :-) - one must "register" to edit the page (just about eliminates "drive by web page 'spamming'"), but anyone can view it. As an alternative, send email to jim at well dot com.
  • Each [L]UG generally has their own list(s) - use that/those list(s) for stuff that doesn't need coordination regarding the booth in general or with other [L]UGs - e.g. how a particular [L]UG will use their space/time at the booth (within practical and permissible limits)
  • for stuff that does require coordination among various [L]UGs:
    • for basic informational stuff (e.g. relatively static), place it on this page, or mention and link to it, as appropriate
    • for discussional stuff that needs coordination among [L]UGs (e.g. we only have N watts of power total for the booth, fair share for our [L]UG would be about N/4 watts … but we have neato project that needs 2*N/4 watts - is there a timeslot we could arrange where we could use that much power (because other [L]UGs wouldn't be using most or any of their N/4 watts?) use the BALUG "admin" list: BALUG-Admin -- Discussion among those who make BALUG work / Administrivia - for those interested in the inner workings of BALUG - that list is publicly archived - so anyone can preuse it to catch up on earlier postings. One must "subscribe" to post, however.
