Re: [Publicity] Xen Booth and Talks @ FOSDEM - draft schedule for your review

Tamas, Robert, Mihai,

> are we going to have a monitor/projector available at the booth
I wasn't originally planning to bring a monitor due to difficult logistics and 
it is too late to have one shipped (and it costs more to ship it and back). I 
already need to get the booth and boxes of T-Shirts from the hotel to the event 
venue, which is always a nightmare at FOSDEM. I could just buy one in Brusseles 
and bring it back, but will need to check whether I can expense it (I can get 
one for 150 Euro's) and whether I can find one on Thursday evening.

FOSDEM is fairly low key and there is no way to secure any equipment. Most 
booths only hand out (or sell) T-Shirts. Remember: It is an entirely community 
organised event, with no event logistics support. But it is probably the 
largest FOSS event in the world in terms of attendees. 

In the past we never had a problem attracting a crowd: we always had a pretty 
decent crowd at our booth. 

Regards
Lars
