> First off, thanks to Si Chen for arranging this.
>
> O'Reilly is offering free booths to certain open source projects for the OSCON exhibit hall. Here's one advantage of the OFBiz incubation at the ASF...
>
> Our booth number is 1118. It looks like we'll be in a pretty good place, right across from the "Food & Beverage" area which is surrounded by booths on one end of the hall.
>
> It isn't a really big booth, but certainly big enough and well enough located to get us some good attention.
>
> This is primarily a marketing opportunity for OFBiz, but as with all things in a community driven project like OFBiz it means it is also a marketing opportunity for the OFBiz-based companies (and individuals...).
>
> In fact, since OFBiz has no marketing budget (or any sort of budget) all marketing resources are derived from community members as a part of co-branding efforts.
>
> This is important! We need your help! And yes, at the same time the intention is that you will be helped too.
>
> We need to get together a group of whoever is interested and start creating some marketing collateral. It would be great to have a big sign with logos of all of the various "Parties" involved with this, and a big OFBiz logo at the top. Hopefully we'll get some OFBiz-only brochures put together, but each participant is welcome to create and distribute their own brochures and have their own people on site.
>
> In fact, that's another need we have: people to help man the booth! It would be great to have 2-3 people there at all times. This is another area where we need volunteers (and commitments...). I'll try to be there all 3 days, but I don't really want to be in the booth the whole time... ;) I know Si and some others are already planning to be there as well.
>
> Anyway, this is a great opportunity for the project in general, and for each of us individually!
>
> We do plan to have an OFBiz meeting somehow. We might still get a BOF session, but it looks like you have to be registered for the conference sessions to attend the BOFs. So, we plan to have a somewhat formal meeting for OFBiz independent of OSCON. Of course, there will be lots of time to chat at the conference, and have meals and such.
>
> BTW: today is the last day to register for the conference at a discounted rate! Of course, this only applies to the conference sessions. The exhibit hall entry is free.
>
> If anyone has any ideas or wants to participate, please respond here or directly to me or Si.
