Gee, I turn off X-Files and go to bed early and look what I miss :) The mini-tutorials idea sounds excellent but we won't need one every hour - but we will need a signboard to list the schedule. I have an easle stand - will bring it with a couple of white boards (maybe use one for the schedule, one to use in tutorials.
Okay, sounds good. I'm a touch worried about space, I've not set up a booth before, but if we have too much stuff there'll be no place to sit!
A bigger question is what to do about equipment. I have an old svg lcd projector - not the best but... The main problem with equipment is monitoring it.
What is an SVG LCD projector? I knew that everything was coming out with SVG support, but I didn't realize it was in projectors :)
I think if we had 3 tutorials/day (could be the same both days) and a couple of good big eye catching posters - that would make a great booth. We're tight on time - the idea of using the about screens blown up sounds great.
Okay. Does anyone know a printer in LA? I'm guessing Kinko's is going to be murder...
Oh yeah, and some chocolates.
:)
Ted, your LA slide show would make a great tutorial. Let's start a signup schedule of who can be at the booth when. I'll check my schedule and be back shortly but I know Sat am is out for me.
I think those slides might be too long, it typically takes me just over an hour to get through them. I'll start thinking of some smaller "feature-lets" to cover and see what I can get done. If I get three done, we'll have three, if more, more :)
As far as time, I'm pretty flexible. My wife said "I'd like to see you sometime on the weekend", but that's my only restriction. I'd like to see Dan Kegel's keynote, but that's the only presentation that I really want to see. (I think it might actually be before the hall opens anyway).
