Hi,

After talking about it at last meeting, including board member Mark, I
just signed up FGSea for a LFNW2015 booth.

I need a description paragraph for FGSea, see above URL. Would anyone
care to provide it? I don't see a single paragraph description on the
FGSea web site, I'd prefer if a board member-approved text was used,
not something created by myself.

Soon, please. Note above URL has INCORRECT data from me (email to LFNW
organizers, not FGsea text for web site), we need to fix that data
before that URL goes live.

Thanks,
Lee

The above link
http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/sponsors/free-geek-seattle gives me
an 'access denied' message.


The link http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2015/sponsors says 'No
Sponsors have been added yet.'

I offer the following text for consideration:

"Free Geek Seattle is a non-profit organization which serves the
community by recycling electronics and computer hardware, refurbishing
and giving away computers, and providing training and support in Free
and Open Source software. It is based on the original Free Geek
organization in Portland, Oregon."

I've added the same text to
https://freegeekseattle.org/wiki/index.php/Free_Geek_Seattle:About for
convenience.

see last paragraph below, it is private for now.

anyway, it only said 'hi, we'd like to apply for a table at this
year's lfnw, like last year.' as a placeholder for a proper description.

thanks, i just updated it to the above text.

i got the below follow-up when i posted the original request. i
followed-up with a clarification that we have no funding for
silver/gold/etc sponsorship, and that we're just looking for a
nonprofit table in the expo hall, like last year.

if you can point me to an online FGSea logo image (PNG, JPEG, etc.), I
can update the page to include that as well.

I used Tom's artwork for the small square sticker. The more colorful
artwork appeared to be too big for the site. Thanks again for the art,
Tom! Hopefully they'll include the description and logo in the event
program guide.

I just noticed the Free Geek Seattle 'logo' is in the LFNW'15 sponsor
page, in the "Community" section, after the "Gold" and "Silver"
sponsors, about mid-page:

http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2015/sponsors


So, who is going to do booth duty this year?

A few attended last year but didn't help out at booth. This year, I
hope those of you consider doing a bit more.

I'm going for one day, not sure yet which day yet, they've yet to
select the day for me to give my talk. Once they decide, I can do
booth Sat morning set-up or Sun evening tear-down.

I currently have the booth signage, so if I'm not doing set-up, I'll
need to transfer this to someone, or leave it at FCS lab for them to
pick up.

I have a handful of stickers left. I will see if I can get some more
made. We have the two sizes, the small 1' square one and the larger
rectangular one, both the same basic colors. Any input as to how to do
the stickers different this time?

I have ZERO brochures left. I don't have a double-sided printer, and
not sure where the original doc is anyway. Can someone print some
brochures for this event? Thanks.

I'm planning to go and do booth duty, and I hope others are as well.
Please don't stay silent if you're going, cause we should probably
figure out a schedule to keep the booth covered while we go to our
various sessions and things.

I am still working on the overnight angle but I expect to be there
both days, so I can do either or both of setup or tear-down.

I'll be at the workshop this Saturday, and if I remember to do it then
I will print some out there. If someone could remind me on the day (on
IRC or in person) then that would be good.

Summary:
* We need someone to do Saturday booth set-up duty.
* We need printed brochures.

I think they've putting my talk on Sunday. So I can to tear-down and
will do booth duty most of Sunday, except during my talk.

>> I currently have the booth signage, so if I'm not doing set-up,
>> I'll need to transfer this to someone, or leave it at FCS lab
>> for them to pick up.

This means I won't be there on Saturday, and we need someone to to
Saturday morning booth set-up duty. And to take the booth signage to
the show. Booth kit includes two bags and one 6' tube. Volunteers?

>> I have a handful of stickers left.

Correction. We ran out of stickers earlier, and I restocked them, just
forgot. We have plenty of stickers.

>> I have ZERO brochures left. I don't have a double-sided printer,
>> and not sure where the original doc is anyway. Can someone print
>> some brochures for this event? Thanks.

We have NO brochures. We need someone to print some brochures for the
LFNW booth.

Andrew is coming on Saturday.
I am helping on Sunday.

Is ANYONE ELSE attending LFNW, and be willing to help with booth?

In addition to our own booth, LFNW has a "Linux Tutorium" room, and
they need Linux-savvyy volunteers to spend some time in this room, and
offer your assistance helping newbies as they test drive various Linux
distro's, experience installs, play with LibreOffice, etc. Apparently
LFNW has some BTC volunteer students to help, but they're just
learning Linux themselves.

See you at Monthly Meeting Monday night.
If you are not going to attend in person, please try to hang out on IRC.
If you are not used to IRC, and don't have an IRC client setup, try this:

Summary: 3 pages for LFNW booth proposed below. Input appreciated to
improve text/lists.

Also, someone (ELCASETI? MARK?, ??) has the second sign; if they're
able to get it to Saturday Workshop it could be used at the LFNW booth.

Beyond existing booth kit, which Andrew has, and the double-sided,
multi-color printed brochures that one Workshop attendee is working
on, the booth kit includes 2 8.5x11" clear plastic self-standing
signs, so we can print a message on them, to help direct visitors to
proper frame of mind.

Proposed text for sign:
- ----snip----
Help us:

* donate used hardware
FIXME: URL
* donate funds via Paypal
FIXME: URL
* donate time as a Workshop Lead
FIXME: URL
* donate time as a FOSS Trainer
* get us contacts at events to host us
- ----snip----

In addition to readonly sheet in plastic sign, I think booth should
have some paper and pen on table. Paper with question and lines below
for attendees to fill out. This works well with audience, since they
read the initial question at top of page, then most go on to read the
other responses others have made, and many try to add something new.
Much more productive than blank faces walking up to booth and saying
'so, what do you do?...'

You'll probably need a few sheets of paper for responses. There are
some blank 8.5x11" green paper and some pens in the booth kit.

Proposed text for one page:

- ----snip----
Q: Do you know of any (hackerspaces, makerspaces, jr high schools,
high schools, colleges, community centers, libraries, etc.) that needs
hardware workshops and/or FOSS training? We need hosting space beyond
our current small lab in S. Seattle. Please say hello and/or give us a
contact! Thanks.
- ----snip----

Proposed text for one page:

- ----snip----
What hardware and FOSS software training should we offer?
If you can help teach any of these topics on a quarterly basis
starting this Fall, please say hello or add your email.

Pre-populate (hand-write, not print) the first few lines with 2-3 of
the topics from the below list, which you think should be core for
training:
PC Hardware, Linux user fundamentals, Bash, GNOME, KDE, XFCE,
Coreboot, Firewalls, Ruby, Snort, Open Source Licenses, editing
Wikipedia, Cryptography, GnuPG/WoT, Git/Github, JavaScript, Ardiuno,
Internet Protocols, Routing, Java, Android Studio/SDK, Snort, Qt (C++
or Python), Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, Audacity, Libreoffice, Vim,
Emacs, C, C++, Perl.
- ----snip----

Can anyone help improve the proposed text above?

Thanks.

Belated thanks to all who staffed the FGSea booth at LFNW this last
weekend.

Special thanks to Andrew [and whoever helped him] for setting up booth
Saturday morning.

Alphabetically, I saw: Andrew, Ann, Dan, Finn, and Jeremy staffing the
booth Sunday.

Thanks to the adjacent KDE and GSLUG booths, and their staff, for
helping out as well.

I actually said that I'd staff the booth most all of Sunday, but there
was enough coverage that I rarely got a chance to staff it. Again,
thanks, I was doing some career networking at the show, talking to CEO
of an open source-, open hardware-focused BIOS vendor, I appreciate
the ability to have time away from booth.

Hopefully we can repeat this kind of staffing at SeaGL in a few
months... :-)

Thanks again!
