FOSDEM 2009 Project Stand

MySQL will have a project stand at FOSDEM 2009 on Saturday and Sunday. The stand will have to be staffed and we need to organize giveaways/flyers. We will share the project stand with the OpenSolaris.org project.

[edit] Stand activities

• Provide support and advice for people
• Demo new MySQL releases
• Demo latest versions of various MySQL-related tools and applications
• Hand out info flyers/marketing material
• Hand out giveaways/merchandise? Laura Ventura (Sun) offered to ship OpenSolaris Live-CDs as well as NetBeans DVDs to hand out.
• More ideas/suggestions: Post your ideas on Walter Heck's blog post!

[edit] Stand Equipment

• Lenz will bring a large orange-white table drape with a "Sun Microsystems" logotype on the front
• Lenz will also bring an orange/white Sun/MySQL banner stand to put behind the desk
• David Delabassee (Sun) has offered to bring hardware from the local Sun office, we've asked him if he could bring a flat screen monitor, power strips and (if possible) a workstation that we could utilize for installing some demo applications and having a web browser easily accessible.
• Walter Heck will bring his Asus EEEpc
