Thanks for stepping up folks. I might not like them but I am outnumbered - I like to be proven wrong its educational :-)
Please make sure these posters font become advertising for companies. That will damage sponsorship relations. The easiest route is to say "no company logo" the slightly more complex route would be to require PMC approval of posters. You will need to coordinate with Angela at the Linux Foundation to ensure she is comfortable with your proposal. When you have it outlined Rich or I can introduce you.

Around 26,000 people there. Also literally thousands of posters. ApacheCon, for me anyways, has always been a conference in the corridors. I feel that having posters would only add to this atmosphere and I feel it is a fantastic idea (sorry Ross :)). I feel that this is especially suited to the Science and Research track where people could even reuse posters they have used elsewhere to further promote their research.

We are on it. I think we should make it a casual affair though and as Ross has stated near to the hackathon rooms. Thanks Lewis
