Subject: Practical information regarding FOSDEM stands
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:50:52 +0000
From: FOSDEM Stands Team <stands(a)fosdem.org>
To: Fabian <arrfab(a)centos.org>
Dear Fabian,
This email contains a lot of practical information. Please read it
completely.
Location
--------
You will be located on the ground floor of the K building, in group A.
Attached is an image of the ground plan. Note that this is just a
draft; the scale of …
[View More]the tables is an estimate and the spacing between
stands is somewhat arbitrary.
We've assigned the stand places as follows:
K building, ground floor, group A
1. KDE
2. KDE
3. GNOME
4. GNOME
5. Enlightenment
6. CentOS
7. CentOS
8. Mageia
9. OpenMandriva
10. Fedora
11. Fedora
Shipping
--------
Do not under any circumstances ship anything directly to ULB or to the
mail address of FOSDEM. We have no storage space in either location and
your shipment is more than likely to be lost if you send it there.
If there are things you need to ship ahead, and there is really no
possibility to arrange with someone local to receive your shipment,
contact us, and we will see what we can do. We will not accept any
shipments that we have not agreed on beforehand.
Timing
-------
Build-up starts from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start arriving
around 10-11, and you can expect it to be properly busy by 13:00 (end of
the keynotes). The Saturday program ends at 19:00; you're expected to be
out of the building at that time.
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
-------
We provide a number of 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.
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.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at
stands(a)fosdem.org
Thank you for your participation and see you in Brussels soon!
Kind regards,
Wynke.

Hi there,
I'm new to this mailing list. I am a sysadmin using CentOS in my
enterprise, www.koali.es. Koali is a spanish company that two partners
and I created in 2011. We make IT business solutions with open source
tools. We have some public schools here that are asking us for an open
source O.S. for their workstations and servers, because Microsoft is
auditing them and severe reprimand could be taken if they have no
original Microsoft software. I have a meeting next monday 20th with the
…
[View More]principal of one of those schools, so I would like to ask you if I can
use your promo stuff (printed by me) or just showing them one PowerPoint
slideshow (okay, Impress Slideshow :D) that I'm doing at this moment. I
can send you the slideshow translated into English once the meeting is
over.
I intend to use CentOS logos, name, and just tell them all the benefits
of going from Windows to CentOS. Of course I will give them a neutral
point of view, so they can decide for their own.
As english is not my native language, please excuse typing errors.
So if anyone could answer me, I'd very pleased,
Thanks a lot

Hi everyone
Gene Liverman from the Information Technology Services at University of
West Georgia had proposed late last year that we consider a Dojo on at
their facilities.
What time of year might be best for this ? And what sort of an agenda
should we aim for ?
Gene, what sort of subject matter do you think will have the most impact
/ interest there ? Also, would most of the participants be from on
campus or around the university ?
Regards,

So, Andreas updated the wiki page (http://wiki.centos.org/Promo/Box) for
things we can use at Dojo/Fosdem.
But that's not a lot a items (not enough stickers/t-shirts)
So what are people thinking of writing a kind of "nice-to-have" things,
and see if that's possible (time is *short*)
Thanks !

Hi Folks !
It's once again the perfect time to get prepared for Fosdem !
I've created a wiki page (http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Fosdem2014) so
feel free to add your name if you'll be there.
Who's the Promo Box and what's still inside ?
Karanbir wanted balloons like last year, and I got feedback from people
attending Fosdem last year who thought that it was a great idea.
So do we go with balloons ?
What about stickers and t-shirts ? I don't think we'll have free
t-shirts like last year.

hi Guys,
I took all the offers for hosting Dojo's that I've had in 2013 that we
were unable to take up and made up a list, proposing them for 2014. You
can see the list I have so far at http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo in
the Future Schedule section; in the coming days I'll get in touch with
all the people who had made these offers and try to get a potential
timeline together.
We've done 6 great Dojo's in 2013, across europe and the USA; with the
potential for another one before the year is …
[View More]out! Lets see if we can do
12 in 2014 and try to reach Asia as well.
As always, all help in getting the Dojo's setup, promoting them and
helping with the day itself are welcome, from all over the world!
Regards,
