I should be down by the booth area around 7:15 or so tomorrow morning. The booth is looking good. Someone will be coming by early to professionally hang our vinyl banner for the booth. Looking forward to seeing everyone -- sleep well. :-) Paul

Spacewalk buddies -- read this!

Hi Todd and anyone else subscribed who's with Spacewalk. We're still looking for you to select any times you'd like the Fedora room for Spacewalk related events. Just sign up for the times at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Summit_2010#Room on the wiki. I'll be around the Seaport WTC tonight around 6:30 or 7:00 and we can talk then. Look for me at the Fedora booth/table. -- Paul W.

Leaving... on a jet plane...
by Paul W. Frields 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

OK, I know that Mel sent contact info around to attendees so we can get media into the center. I've also contacted our Summit planning staff, including Kristin Nordstrom, and Mo Duffy (who's one of the Red Hatters assisting conference-wide), to let them know our crack staff of Fedora friends will be looking for our booth gear in the afternoon. All should be well, but if you need anything, I've sent around my contact info to people too. I'll be unavailable from about 15:30 when my plane boards until about 17:30 when it lands. -- Paul W.

Tuesday setup -- any last thoughts?
by Paul W. Frields 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

OK, I have the following people on the list for booth setup on Tuesday afternoon: * Sandro Mathys (RHCE of the Year, woo!) * Susan Lauber * Brian Powell * Peter Robinson I've let Kristin Nordstrom, who is Red Hat's Summit mastermind, know all your names. I told her you would be potentially seeking Red Hat people in the afternoon to find our boxes, so you can set up the table. Kristin has a list of all the shipments, including our event box, handouts, vertical banners, and the tablecloths (see previous email). At least the event box and vertical banners were shipped with my name on the label too. Everything should be possible to find, since Kristin has the master list. IIRC, Mel Chua is planning on coming by the center in the afternoon (between 3:00-5:00pm sometime?) to deliver F13 media. Mel should be on this list and receiving this email. Mel, could you privately let a few people know how they can best stay in contact with you? (I didn't want to just put your phone number on the list.) -- Paul W.

Tablecloths
by Paul W. Frields 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

I had completely forgotten that we now have some Fedora tablecloths courtesy of the Red Hat folks -- 2 of them are being delivered to the Summit for us to use, if we like them. After Summit is over, I'll arrange for the lot to be distributed to Ambassadors globally/regionally. -- Paul W.

Cheering for Sandro
by Paul W. Frields 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

For those of you who are already Red Hat certified (RHCT/RHCE/etc.), you can ignore this email. For those of you who aren't -- are you interested in being on a guest list to cheer for our very own Sandro Mathys, who is 2010 RHCE of the Year for EMEA? If so, drop me your name and I will see if I can get those people into the exclusive Red Hat certified professional event at the Summit, so we can see together the presentation of this prestigious award to Sandro, and give him a big Fedora community cheer. -- Paul W.

OSDC meetup
by Paul W. Frields 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

The opensource.com crew is hosting a free meetup near the Summit at Boston Beer Works on Thursday night (6/24) from 7:00-8:00pm. You can RSVP via the site contact form here: http://bit.ly/aJk9AD The OSDC folks went out of their way to tell me Fedorans are welcome to come whether or not they have a Summit pass. If you know of anyone in the area who might want to meet there, feel free to let them know! -- Paul W.

Booth setup on Tuesday
by Paul W. Frields 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

So it looks like my flight is getting in on Tuesday a little later than I wanted, and I probably won't make it to the hotel/conference area before registration closes. So I could really use a small number of people -- just two or three -- to help with booth setup on Tuesday evening. We can work out the exact time, but it shouldn't take more than an hour or so to get everything done. It would be great if one of those people was a Red Hat employee, which makes it easier to poke noses into rooms and rattle cages if needed. ;-) Ideally these folks could do the booth setup in the afternoon, while there are lots of people around to find things for you and generally support the setup effort. I feel bad saying this, because I can't be there myself to help. But at the same time, if that crew gets done early, we could either join the welcome reception, or I'd be happy to treat them to dinner. :-) Just FYI, my flight doesn't leave on Friday until the evening, so I'm all in for the booth teardown and shipping of things after the event. :-) -- Paul W.

USB keys shipped!
by Paul W. Frields 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

FYI: The Fedora 13 Live USB keys have been duplicated, and shipped to the Summit organizers! They'll be given out to all the attendees attached to their badge lanyards. None of our volunteers needs to worry about that work, it's all being done by other staff. -- Paul W.

Swag
by Paul W. Frields 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I just updated the wiki with information from an IRC conversation on #fedora-ambassadors with Ben Williams and John Rose. Looks like we have at least the following: * 30-40 T-shirts coming with Brian Powell * 300-400 pcs. of media, plus pens and buttons, with John Rose * A big pack of clings and stickers with Scott McBrien Everyone is bringing these items in with them, and we should have very little problem giving all of it out during the Summit. :-) If anyone needs a shipping address for the Summit, though, please get in touch with me as soon as possible. I have an address for "early" deliveries up to a week before, and then "late" deliveries to arrive on opening morning. -- Paul W.
