[Publicity] Planning not to have a Xen Project booth at LinuxCon NA and EU

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I had a discussion with the Linux Foundation at OSCON, where we 
discussed Xen Project booth presence for both LinuxCon events.
LinuxCon NA:
We have 3 Xen related talks accepted in the main program (on the 16th 
and 17th of September) and a full day of Xen Project User Summit on the 
18th. Some really good submissions too. We felt, that the project has 
had enough exposure and that for this reason we will not get much extra 
benefits from the booth. One option which was discussed (but is still 
open) is to have a Xen Project T-Shirts or stickers in the conference 
bag that each LinuxCon attendee gets.
LinuxCon EU:
We don't know yet which talks have been accepted. However, I expect that 
we will get some Xen related talks. Also, we will have the Xen project 
developer summit on October 24-25, so again we felt that the project has 
enough exposure. Enough to not need a booth and have one at onather open 
source event instead (e.g. a user facing event such as LISA '13). If we 
need to do a demo of something big (just speculating), we could always 
do this at the Xen Summit, pre-announce, have it recorded and/or allow 
tech media to attend the demo session.
Unless somebody objects, I assume this approach works for everyone involved.

Best Regards
Lars
