Hi! I have contradictory feelings about this event. On the one hand, the main focus of the event is purely business. The main activities are around business development and a big part of the focus is on company booths, showing their "open source" projects. From our involvement last year, it looked like they were trying to make it more open and more focused on real open source, but I'm not sure that is for real or not. On the other hand, if this event becomes a popular and well-accepted event, probably it makes sense for us to be there, especially if we are offered a booth.
I can be the primary point of contact; I did it last year and it went quite well. However, I wouldn't like to be the only one supporting this event. If I have to staff the booth myself all day, then, I would probably say that's something I honestly wouldn't like to do given the nature of this event. I.
