[replies to: dev@openoffice.apache.org] Hello all --
OpenOffice has been participating in FOSDEM for quite some time. For the upcoming FOSDEM in 2016, the ASF will also be participating. Because of the new ASF "stand" participation, it has been suggested to request a set of tables -- one to accommodate the ASF as a single entity, and additional tables as needed for individual project participation. The discussion thread on this has stared on d...@community.apache.org if you want to take a look at that list. Also, please see the wiki reference below for additional details on what has been suggested. Of course, as in the past, we will lend whatever support we can to volunteers at FOSDEM. Please express your interest so this can be coordinated with the ASF plans for FOSDEM. Thanks. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: FOSDEM 2016 - Call for Participation Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:43:27 +0200 From: Daniel Gruno <humbed...@apache.org> Reply-To: d...@community.apache.org To: d...@community.apache.org On 09/25/2015 09:11 AM, Sharan Foga wrote: > Hi All > > I've just seen this call for participation at FOSDEM and I know we > talked about getting more of an Apache presence there. > > https://fosdem.org/2016/news/2015-09-24-call-for-participation/ Indeedy, I was notified by FOSDEM staff about this, and will note that the ASF has formally requested a stand at FOSDEM 2016. Time will tell what sort of stand we'll get (how big etc), but we should plan ahead and _assume_ we'll get two tables (might get one, might get three, but let's assume two). This will require 3-4 volunteers at most times (not to speak of endless amounts of swag to give away), so I would imagine we'd need at least double that in available people, so as to do it in shifts. Depending on the number of projects that are interested in a presence at FOSDEM, we'll likely do a rotation, so that each project get N hours of fame at the stand. FOSDEM has notified us that they are really limited on space this time around, due to the huge interest in this from FOSS communities, so if we can help them by rotating a bit, that would work out for everyone. Having been to previous FOSDEMs, I can also say with some certainty, that you won't risk getting the "boring time slot", as the stands are pretty much always crowded.
