Pg Events at OSCON

От

Over the past few years, we've held 3 events/activities associated
with OSCON week:

1. PgDay (joint venture with PDXPUG)
2. BoF session
3. Pg Booth in exhibit hall

Here is the current status of this year's events:

1.  Planning is in place for a PgDay on July 24, 2011, the Sunday before OSCON.

We're in the process of lining up speakers and securing a party venue.
 This year marks PDXPUG's fifth anniversary, so we have an extra
reason to celebrate.  A formal announcement will come out later this
week.

2.  Do we want to do a BoF session this year?

I'll handle requesting space for that, if so.  Anybody want to offer
to give a presentation, before I start drafting ya? ;)

3.  I requested an exhibitor booth;  we are on the wait list again this year.

Exhibit hall hours are the same as last year:
Set up Tuesday afternoon/evening
Wed 10:00 - 4:30
Thu 10:00 - 5:00
Teardown Thursday evening

- Here is the wrap-up report from last year:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2010-07/msg00046.php

Couple of things about the booth, but keep in mind we are on the wait
list & there's no guarantee we'll get in, so these are all "ifs" right
now.  (I just want to be prepared.)

- It is going to cost us money to keep our booth in the style to which
we have become accustomed; OSCON no longer provides free
power/internet for the OpenSource (now known as "dot org") booths.
Last year it was Power $90, Internet $450 (:choke:).  We got by on
only power last year with no complaints.

- If we do a booth, can we get special t-shirts for booth staff again?
 People volunteered for a booth shift just to get those shirts.

- It would be nice to have a new marketing blurb;  we've been using
this one: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Marketing_Blurbs for a few
years now.  I know there are much better writers than I on this list.

- I need an assistant booth wrangler this year.  Duties are:  a) help
solicit volunteers for booth staff and b)  take care of any details
that crop up during June, as I will be unavailable then.  Any takers?

Thanks!

Has there been any wider announcement of this yet?

We've got a draft announcement almost done. We'll get it out this week.
