MozPit: Meeting Room and Technical Presentation Schedule
Not booked yet.
Brainstorming
- cd should include 'Please copy and give to all your friends' on the label.
- If it's a LiveCD then update checks must be disabled to avoid messages.
- Booth duty sign up sheet. Including a "lunch grabber" role perhaps.
- Keep the MozPit! But, I'm torn as to whether it should be bigger or not. Keeping it smallish would help keep it interactive I think.
- Book a block of hotel rooms early. I don't think we get dinged if we cancel a day before.
- Prepare and maintain an succinct electronic LA/CSUN info kit for newcomers. Maps, bus/trolley, reasonable places to eat, facts to use at the booth etc.
- MozPit signup sheet with topics/tasks. e.g. "Hack on Jambu"
