Birds of a feather are a great way to get together.

2019

  • When: 6pm-9pm on Friday
  • Where: See the space plan for more info.
  • BoF content on web site is live
  • Intention is to use all OLFI rooms
    • Early Penguins room may be used if capacity, AV, or extra slots are needed
      • Potential special presentation by maddog in Union A/B
  • Intention is three one-hour timeslots: 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00pm
    • Are these good? When will happy hour run? - Happy hour still planned for 5:00-7:00
    • Some sessions may need a double timeslot; this is fine
  • Will put effort into recruiting people to host BoFs
    • E-mail blast to ohiolinux-attendees
      • This is prepared, not yet sent
    • Contact past BoF organizers (e.g., GPG keysigning)
    • See if John Harig can put me in touch with others
    • Can be promoted on social media - use news post as a template
  • Will close online applications Wed, Oct 30 or if slots are filled
    • Need to figure out signage to allow signup for open slots on Friday for day-of proposals
