I'm hopefully, some of our friends running the dev-room will join and help us on the other day. We prefer more people will join us, because running a booth with many people is more joyfully. But we're able to ensure the organizers wants even we've to do it alone.

Timeline: proposals due by 28 Nov. > We think a normal stand is better than a large one. It's better there are lot of Apache people around a smaller stand than only a few around a large one. And we have no merchandize articles to present (like other projects). So a normal stand would fit. A booth is a place where people can find and meet Apache supporters to talk, get information etc.. People walk around and see: "Oh, there is also an Apache OpenOffice booth!" And we can encourage them to ask us, get information etc.. We can contact people who don't prospect us specificly. In that way a booth is important even than a dev-room exists. We like to invite other Apache projects to join and support us and to present their project at the booth. Regards Michael
