OSCON 2017

[Matthew Miller]

So, I'm going to attend the Community Leadership Summit which runs the
weekend before OSCON, and since I'll be there, I figured I might as
well stay. Last year, we decided that a Fedora booth would be
exorbitant, and I think that was a good decision. Adam Miller was there
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/oscon-2016-expo-hall-booth-report/
but more from a RH point of view than Fedora in specfic.

This year, Red Hat has a large booth, and offered me a "pod" within it
(a cabinet and monitor for demos). The whole thing is being designed by
a contracted events company; we won't need the event box, but it would
be nice to have some swag.

I've never been to OSCON; what can those who have tell me about the
audience? The conference program schedule looks pretty technical, with
a lot of programming and sysadmin talks. That seems like a pretty good
match for trying to create converts to Fedora through Workstation,
Atomic, and Server. Do you think we should aim more for an end-user
angle or a contributor one?

Who was the event owner for OSCON last year?

Here's where I'm referring to:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OSCON_2016

It looks like masta, Dan (danofsatx), and Adam (maxamillion) were the
event owners for OSCON last year.

I'll be at OSCON again this year and I'm happy to put together
something we can demo. Do we have a list of compute resources
available at our pod or should I bring something with me?

I can ask for a demo laptop, but last time I did that it didn't make
it, so having something on hand would be awesome.
