Exhibit Hall (open to non-exhibitors these days/hours):
Tuesday August 5, 2008 10 am - 5 pm
Wednesday, August 6, 2008 10 am - 5 pm
Thursday, August 7, 2008 10 am - 4 pm

Coordination of timeslots - we have a 10x10' booth, so we can probably at most reasonably accommodate 4 people there (and that might leave some of them standing) - any more than 4 and things definitely get crowded and folks will be needing to stand. We also want to, as much as feasible, try to cover all the exposition days/hours (noted above), with Tuesday and Wednesday being most crucial (probably in that order), and Thursday also being quite significant, but not as crucial - however, at the end of the exposition Thursday it's also very useful/handy to have several folks available - e.g. for all the book/magazine publishers that really don't want to have to haul all their books/magazines back after the expo, but would rather have some or much of that placed into the hands of various [L]UGs.

Please put your name in the timeslot(s) in the table below. Also, below the table please also put your name, contact information, and indicate the [L]UG(s) you will be representing or can represent. If you've got varying levels of familiarity and involvement with [L]UGs you can cover for, you can also show, after you list the LUG, a number (from 0 through 1) or percent (0% to 100%) indicating how familiar and involved with the group you are (e.g. 1 or 100% - you're head honcho, created the group, always there, know all there is about it and then some; .75 or 75% - you're rather involved with the group and quite familiar with it; 50% semi-involved or at least involved in parts (e.g. on the list and mostly read/skim it, have been to and occasionally go to some of the meetings/events); 30% uhm, you at least know enough about it to provide some coverage if no one else can).

Also, if your [L]UG isn't already listed on this page, please include that after the list of names, with complete name(s) of the [L]UG, common acronym, and main URL(s).

*Monday, and before 10AM Tuesday, one will need an exhibitor badge to get in. Monday probably isn't needed/important, though some of us may check out the space on Monday, and hopefully cover any things that might be needed (e.g. getting chairs, if possible) before Tuesday - as things are quite hectic on Tuesday before the exposition opens to non-exhibitors.

Please put here, your name, your contact information, and [L]UGs you'll be representing or can represent:

• Jim Stockford: 1-415-823-4590; [L]UGs: SF-LUG (100%), BALUG

Please:

• Use this Wiki page … appropriately - one must "register" to edit the page (just about eliminates "drive by web page 'spamming'"), but anyone can view it
• Each [L]UG generally has their own list(s) - use that/those list(s) for stuff that doesn't need coordination regarding the booth in general or with other [L]UGs - e.g. how a particular [L]UG will use their space/time at the booth (within practical and permissible limits)
• for stuff that does require coordination among various [L]UGs:
  • for basic informational stuff (e.g. relatively static), place it on this page, or mention and link to it, as appropriate
  • for discussional stuff that needs coordination among [L]UGs (e.g. we only have N watts of power total for the booth, fair share for our [L]UG would be about N/4 watts … but we have neato project that needs 2*N/4 watts - is there a timeslot we could arrange where we could use that much power (because other [L]UGs wouldn't be using most or any of their N/4 watts?) use the BALUG "admin" list: BALUG-Admin -- Discussion among those who make BALUG work / Administrivia - for those interested in the inner workings of BALUG - that list is publicly archived - so anyone can preuse it to catch up on earlier postings. One must "subscribe" to post, however.
