That's a great idea to put something on web page about the booth. Sticker design looks good to me - this is a graphics product so the art on a sticker idea is a good one. btw you can get avery stickers at Wal-Mart, Staples, etc. They're not necessarily cheap so be prepared.
I'm still looking, Staples didn't have them. I'm going to look some more.
Keeping in mind this should be fun, I'm still a little concerned we don't have the booth quite pulled together - maybe it's just me but we're getting close and since we'll be surrounded by some professional booths, I just think we need to look good even though simple is fine and appropriate. I'm thinking I'll bring the booth panels anyway - don't want them, they can go under the table, but they might make a good dark background for even the whiteboard display screen. Can maybe the Jon's offer to bring a few display printouts mounted on foamcore ?
The foamcore stuff looked to be about $70 a print out... which is a lot. That was for 24x36 4 color printing, but I figured that too much smaller than that wouldn't really show up at a booth anyway.
I wouldn't worry too much about the "professionalness" of the booth. We're in the .org area, which means we don't have as much competition. I don't expect us to compete with the likes of Novell, but I would like to present ourselves well. I think we're probably out of luck on winning the best booth though, last year the Flighgear guys had a working cockpit in their booth. That's kinda unfair :)
Should we plan to meet either Fri night(with some beers) or Sat am(with some doughnuts) to set up stuff?
Or both :) I was thinking about maybe grabbing dinner together in Venice on Friday night. Jon Cruz? Anyone else up for that? Unfortunately I'm booked for dinner Saturday night.
